PESHAWAR
Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar has become the first health facility in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where stroke thrombolysis was launched on Wednesday.
If a stroke patient is brought to the neurology department of HMC within 3 hours, the neurologists, headed by Dr Ayazul Haq, can unblock clot in the brain and the patient will be able to live a normal life.
An injection used in this treatment costs Rs100, 000, but the HMC administration decided to offer it free of cost at the moment. A 70 years old patient Anwar Gul from Hayatabad was the lucky one to have availed this facility on Wednesday.
