In a powerful display of humanitarian leadership, Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir has taken personal responsibility for two critically ill Pakistani children who were shockingly deported from India during their heart treatment. The young siblings – both born with congenital heart defects – were forcibly expelled from Faridabad’s hospital on April 21, 2025, where they had traveled from Sindh for specialized care.
Demonstrating the nation’s commitment to its citizens, General Asim Munir immediately arranged for the children’s transfer to the prestigious Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) in Rawalpindi. The military’s top cardiac facility is now providing comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatment completely free of cost. Their father, Shahid Ahmed, emotionally recounted their ordeal, praising the swift military response that potentially saved his children’s lives after India’s abrupt deportation.

This intervention highlights:
1. Swift Crisis Response: Immediate medical evacuation and treatment coordination
2. World-Class Healthcare: Access to AFIC’s specialized pediatric cardiac unit
3. National Solidarity: Military-civilian collaboration in healthcare emergencies
The Army’s proactive stance has not only addressed an urgent medical need but also restored faith in institutional support for vulnerable Pakistanis abroad. As the children continue their recovery, this episode stands as a testament to Pakistan’s commitment to protecting its citizens’ right to healthcare – regardless of international tensions.
