Sometimes we face human limitations and cannot go beyond despite our efforts. Pakistanis never fail to amaze the world with their determination, passion, and talent. The surgeons at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC) performed a miracle operation where they performed a complicated surgery by extracting a knife from a patient’s skull, where the brain was saved from damage.
The JPMC Surgical Complex comprises of 500 beds and 18 state-of-the-art operating theaters. This is a great development for the public healthcare system in Karachi. In Feb 2022, a state-of-the-art 500-bed surgical complex was added to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre. The up-gradation of the healthcare sector is definitely on a par with the world-class health facilities.

They would establish a robotic surgery unit at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) for regular surgeries and the training of new surgeons. This will modernize the surgery system but also increase the number of surgeries per day. “The small, portable, and modular design of Versius allows it to easily be moved between operating theatres, supporting high-utilization of the system.” The Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) is the first hospital in Pakistan to gain Versius to complete high-volume urological procedures.

Surgeons at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical College took the responsibility of doing the risky surgery. Neurosurgeons, ENT eye surgeons, and OT staff took part in the 4.5 hour-long operations. The knife was successfully removed and there was no damage to the eye or brain.
