5th - 8th December 2022
Hashmani Hospital, Karachi
Approx. Costs of service provided £30,000 ($38,000)
This was the 4th Year of Free Middle Ear Surgery for poor patients by IMRA Charity at Hashmani Hospital, Karachi. IMRA is providing this free service for poor patients who are unable to afford and access good surgical facilities from experienced ENT Surgeons both from abroad and in Pakistan.
The highlight of this project was that cameras were put in theatres to allow trainees to watch the surgical procedures and interact with the Surgeon from a conference room.
Local trainees were also given an opportunity to assist and observe on a monitor the major ear surgical procedures in the operating theatre.
This allowed the trainees to gain experience and learn from experts and was very much appreciated by the Pakistan Society of Otolaryngology.
