This is an amazing feat and on hearing this news, all the confusion became camphor and the heart became happy. This news went viral on all media and spread like wildfire.
Our heads were raised with pride because this feat was accomplished by the doctors of Pakistan. The greatest joy was that this feat was accomplished by our Pakistani doctors.
The details are that the Department of Prosthodontics of Jinnah Sindh Medical University, Sub-Dental College, Sindh Institute of Oral Health Sciences, recently completed the first case of facial prosthesis and implantation with great success.

Jinnah Sindh Medical University Vice-Chancellor Professor Amjad Siraj Memon congratulated the team of SIOHS and the Department of Prosthodontics for crossing the important milestone and said that people who have faced disfigurement due to an accident feel alone in society.

Amjad Siraj Memon is a bright and worthy example for his counterparts, such people are a great and valuable asset for the country and nation.
Dentistry in Pakistan had its beginnings before the establishment of Pakistan in the form of De Montmorency College, the first dental college of the subcontinent, but the situation was not very encouraging till 2000. After the year 2000, people became more aware of dentistry. Along with this, government and private dental colleges were also established.
CPSP which is a famous institution of postgraduate medical education in Pakistan has also done a lot of work in dentistry after 2000 years. There has been a lot of innovation in dental treatment and modern methods in our country too. There has been a very positive development in terms of cars.
