ISLAMABAD: Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) Rawalpindi has started the treatment of ailing Pakistani children who were recently deported from India.

The children were admitted to AFIC under the immediate directives of the Federal Minister for Health, Mustafa Kamal.

These children, hailing from Hyderabad, were transported directly from the airport to the hospital, where they are now receiving the medical care they were previously denied.

“Pakistan has not abandoned its ailing children,” said a spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, adding that we have fulfilled our promise to ensure they receive the care they need.

The Minister’s prompt, humanitarian response underscores the government’s dedication to protecting its people and upholding their right to healthcare, regardless of political circumstances.

Treatment is currently ongoing, with doctors at AFIC closely monitoring each case.

Earlier, the federal health minister took notice of the matter and instructed the Director General of Health to facilitate the children’s treatment in Pakistan.

As the tensions escalated following the Pahalgam attack, India canceled visas and directed Pakistani citizens to leave the country.

Among those affected were two minor siblings from Hyderabad, Sindh, 9-year-old Abdullah and his 7-year-old sister Minsa, both suffering from a congenital heart condition.

The children had traveled to New Delhi with their father, Shahid Ali, for critical heart procedures and were admitted to a hospital in New Delhi.

However, they were denied treatment and expelled from the country following the cancellation of their visas.
