The Oxford University Press (OUP) Pakistan has published a book on life and successes of Director of the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Dr Syed Adeebul Hasan Rizvi to pay tributes to his services. The OUP Book describes different aspects of life of the legend. Childhood hobbies, successes in field of education, formation of Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) have also been mentioned in the book.
The OUP Pakistan sources said that the book was aimed at paying tributes to Dr Rizvi. Syed Adeebul Hasan Rizvi was born on September 11, 1938 in a small village in Jaunpur district, Uttar Pradesh, British India. He graduated from Dow Medical College in Karachi, Pakistan in 1968. Then he went to UK to pursue higher studies. After finishing his studies there, he returned to Pakistan. "In those days most people returned from UK with cars but guess what Dr Rizvi returned with a container full of medical equipment."
While living in UK, Dr Rizvi saw National Health Service working there and he decided to try that idea in Pakistan. Dr Rizvi set up an eight-bed urology ward at the Civil Hospital, Karachi in 1970. SIUT started as an eight-bed ward at Civil Hospital, Karachi, and has grown to be Pakistan's leading & largest Urology and Transplantation Institute. Dr Rizvi is the president of the Transplant Society of Pakistan. In 2003, Dr Rizvi led a team of SIUT surgeons that performed the first successful liver transplant on an infant in Pakistan.
