“This is the first time that an EP study and ablation procedure has been performed on such a young child in Pakistan. This was done by Dr. Mohammad Mohsin, who trained in pediatric cardiology and followed it with two years of training at the University of Alberta in Canada, who has been hired by the NICVD to start the first pediatric cardiac electrophysiology programme in Pakistan” said the director of NICVD while talking to The News.
The NICVD director praised this programme and called it “a great achievement”. He further concluded by saying that NICVD had become one of the primary healthcare institutes for tertiary cardiac care in the world.
The doctors all around Pakistan are overjoyed with this programme and are hopeful that this new intervention will make things easy for these children who have been suffering from these conditions for a long period of time.
