Re: Indian doctors save life of Pakistani student
^Yes,well said :k:
That's really nice that the patient's surgery was successful. As human beings we are all obligated to help each other. I'm sure if an Indian would have gone to Pakistan for treatment, Pakistani doctors would have done the same. I'm glad that sometimes we can see beyond politics and come down to basic humanity.
Agreed, some idiots just think its a big thing and dismissing this guy's life would serve their gloated sense of false patriotism that centers around India bashing. When our country lacks specialized procedures, people will look towards neighboring countries. I am glad he was granted a visa based on his medical condition and everything turned out alright for him.
Re: Indian doctors save life of Pakistani student
Well Just for a second imagine if things would not have gone right for the pure individual. Guppies here would have poured scorn and mention that Indian Medical facilities are bad and the Indian doctor did not do the right thing on purpose. Also some keyboard jehadis would have mentioned how bad it is trust a kuffar...

It is sad to note that there are still some elements in this forum who don't miss an opportunity of spewing venom on others because of historic baggage. Sympathies to them that they can't think in better ways.
Sankar Netralaya--a famous eye hospital in Chennai every year treats hundreds of patients from South Asian countries including Bangladesh.
One of my colleagues helped a Bangladeshi client (who had a near fatal accident in Dhaka) to get treatment in Chennai. Want to know the religions..colleague a brahmin and client a muslim..doctor a brahmin..need I say more.

Thanks for the info, do you have any idea, ballpark, as to how much they charge for such a complicated cardiac operation?

Well, it could range from INR 200,000/- to INR 400,000/-. Depends upon the hospital, facilities and patient's profile. To add to this would be travel and stay costs.
For poor patients, the amount charged could be low or even free. It depends upon how many people/NGO's are ready with the timely help.
In fact several doctors in Pakistan remain in touch with their counterparts in India for possible referral of such patients for further treatment/operations.
I don't believe any doctor would see religious beliefs as impediment while discharging his/her duty.
