Through paediatric endoscopy, Assistant Professor Dr. Aftab Anwar’s team successfully removed a metal coin, a hairpin, and a button battery from the children’s throats.
Prof Dr. Al-Fareed Zafar, Principal of Post Graduate Medical Institute, Ameer Uddin Medical College, praised Dr. Aftab Anwar and his team’s efforts.

Speaking to the media after the procedure, Dr. Zafar stated that only doctors who use their skills to serve humanity and save lives deserve to be referred to as “messiahs.”
Zafar also praised the hospital and its employees for creating a patient-friendly environment and treating all patients equally.
Dr. Aftab described the procedure as a modern technique that uses a small, flexible tube with a camera to visualise and diagnose problems in the digestive tract.
Aftab went on to say that paediatric endoscopy is especially important when children ingest foreign objects, which is a common occurrence.
Dr. Anwar advised parents to be vigilant and seek medical attention immediately if their children swallowed foreign objects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
