Dr Pasha passed away from COVID-19 on July 15. While he had initially isolated himself at his residence, he had to be shifted to a private hospital on June 22 as he had started to face breathing difficulties.
According to Dr Pasha’s cousin, Dr Bilquis Shabbir from the King Edward Medical University (KEMU), the CEO of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology (CPEIC) Dr Rana Altaf had called KEMU VC Dr Khalid Masud Gondal on July 4 to inform that Dr Pasha’s health was deteriorating.
It was then that VC Gondal sent Dr Salman Ayaz to help the team, and Quaid-i-Azam Medical College (QAMC) also sent their own team to provide expertise. Dr Pasha had been shifted to CPEIC and put on a ventilator.
By July 6, the team of doctors decided to place Dr Pasha on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment. This treatment is used restore heart and lung function in patients experiencing cardiac and/or respiratory failure, and it had shown improvement in Dr Pasha’s health.
On July 13, however, the NMU VC had developed left tension hemopneumothorax (a condition of having air and blood in the chest cavity). Two days later, he passed away.
Runway Pakistan would like to give our condolences to Dr Mustafa Kamal Pasha’s family, and thank him for his services as the VC of NMU. May he rest in peace!
