LAHORE : The latest laser treatment for urinary stones (Laser Lithotripsy) started at Jinnah Hospital from Sunday.

A medical team, led by Prof Naveed Iqbal and Assistant Professor Dr Shabbir Chaudhry, operated on various kidney patients without using any surgery tool or method.

Dr Shabbir Chaudhry told APP that due to the untiring efforts of Chairman Board of Management Dr Gohar Ijaz, a costly treatment has been made available for free at the hospital.

He fulfilled another promise for serving the ailing humanity, he added.

He said Jinnah Hospital had become the first health unit to provide the modern treatment facility.
