New Delhi (NVI): Amidst the chill between India and Pakistan, a one-year-old baby boy from the neighbouring country got a new life, as he successfully underwent a complex liver transplant at a hospital in Gurgaon.
Ahmed from Karachi, who turned 1 yesterday, had a special moment of life as his birthday was celebrated by the doctors at Gurgaon’s Medanta Hospital after the operation.
Dr. Arvinder Singh Soin, Chairman at the Liver Transplant hospital shared the warm moment on Twitter. “No better time & place for little Ahmed from Karachi, Pakistan to celebrate his 1st birthday as he heads home after his liver transplant with us.

Interestingly, Ahmed happens to be the 50th Pakistani baby whose life was saved at the hospital, according to Dr Soin.
“He will love watching this clip of our wholesome celebration of his 1st when he grows up..,” Dr Soin said in another tweet while sharing a video of Ahmed’s birthday celebrations at the hospital.
It is interesting to note that the liver transplant of the Pakistani boy has taken place amid the Covid-19 pandemic when certain travel restrictions are in place.
The relations between India and Pakistan soured recently after the 2019 Pulwama attack that killed 40 CRPF soldiers and Islamabad’s growing friendship with China which is engaged in unprovoked military actions on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) that have spiralled into a huge stand-off in Ladakh region.
