Pakistani Girl Receives Life-Saving Heart Transplant in India



A 19-year-old girl from Karachi, Pakistan received a life-saving heart transplant at a hospital in Chennai, India. Ayesha Rashan had been suffering from heart failure for the past five years. In 2019, she experienced cardiac arrest and was advised that she needed a heart transplant by doctors in Pakistan. 


Ayesha was placed on the transplant waiting list in India. To keep her alive while she waited for a donor heart, doctors implanted a left ventricular assist device. This mechanical pump helped her weakened heart pump blood. 


However, in 2023 her condition deteriorated further as her heart failure spread to the right side as well. She was put on ECMO life support. Doctors determined her only chance of survival was a heart transplant.


In January 2022, Ayesha received a call that a donor heart had become available from a 69-year-old patient who was brain dead in Delhi. The transplant was successfully performed by a team led by Dr. KG Suresh Rao at MGM Healthcare in Chennai. 


After several days in the ICU recovering, Ayesha was well enough to be taken off life support. The high costs of the transplant, over 3.5 million Indian rupees, were covered by donations from an NGO charity trust and past patients and doctors. 


Ayesha's mother expressed gratitude to the surgeons and donors for saving her daughter's life. She said they would not have been able to afford the surgery without their help. Now recovered, Ayesha is able to return home to Pakistan with a new heart and a new lease on life.
