Quetta: The Government of Balochistan has approved sending Dr. Mah Noor Nasser, a young doctor who survived a severe acid attack, to the United States for further specialized medical treatment and recovery care.
The decision was made on the direction of Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Sarfraz Bugti, with officials stating that the priority is to ensure the best possible medical support for her long-term recovery and rehabilitation.
According to the Chief Minister’s Secretariat, a formal letter has already been issued to the relevant departments to begin arrangements for her treatment abroad. This step marks the start of the official process for her transfer to the United States.
At present, Dr. Mah Noor Nasar is under treatment at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi, where she has been receiving continuous medical care. Doctors expect her treatment at the hospital to continue for about another week, depending on her condition and recovery progress.
Officials confirmed that once the initial phase of treatment in Karachi is completed, she will be shifted abroad for more advanced care, including specialized reconstructive procedures and long-term burn management.
Adviser to the Chief Minister, Shahid Rind, said the provincial government is committed to providing every possible facility and support, ensuring that no resource is left unused in her treatment.
The government reiterated that it remains fully focused on her recovery and is working closely with medical experts to arrange the most suitable treatment plan abroad.
This decision highlights the broader need for advanced burn care and reconstructive surgery facilities for acid attack victims in Pakistan, especially in severe cases requiring international-level medical intervention.
