Father Seeks Urgent Medical Help for Children Expelled from India After Heart Surgery Delayed

Shahid Ali Sheikh, a resident of Larkana currently living in Hyderabad, is facing a heartbreaking situation involving his two children, Abdullah Sheikh (9) and Mansha Sheikh (7), both of whom have been suffering from severe heart conditions since childhood. Shahid traveled to India through the Wagah border on April 21, hoping to get life-saving heart surgeries for his children at the Asian Hospital in Faridabad.

The surgeries had been scheduled after months of preparation and medical tests. However, as the family arrived and the children were set to undergo their surgeries, an unexpected turn of events occurred. The Indian government instructed Shahid and his children to return to Pakistan immediately, despite efforts by the hospital administration to advocate for the children’s urgent medical needs.

Shahid shared his distress, explaining that the hospital authorities pleaded with the Indian government to allow the surgeries, emphasizing that all required medical tests had been completed and the surgeries were scheduled to proceed. Despite these assurances, the government insisted on expelling them from the country, halting the planned surgeries and adding to the emotional and financial toll on the family.

Shahid has spent nearly 10 lakh rupees for the medical procedures, including tests and hospital fees, which were rendered ineffective due to the sudden expulsion. As the medical condition of his children worsens, Shahid is desperately seeking treatment for them in the United States or the United Kingdom, hoping that their lives can still be saved.

The Sheikh family’s ordeal highlights the challenges faced by families in need of life-saving medical treatments abroad, and Shahid’s plea for urgent intervention underscores the desperation of a father fighting for the health of his children.
