The Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation ('SIUT')[1] is a dialysis & kidney transplant centre located in Pakistan.[2]
SIUT was founded by Dr. Adibul Hasan Rizvi and it is Pakistan's largest kidney disease center,[3] as well as Parkistan's largest public sector health organisation.[2] It began as a department of urology at the government-run Civil Hospital in 1970[4] and became autonomous in 1991.[2] 10-12 transplants are performed weekly,[2] and in 2003 doctors at SIUT performed Pakistan's first liver transplant.[4] In 2004, a child care unit was opened.[5]
All services provided by SIUT, including dialysis and transplantation, are provided free of cost.[2][4][5]
