Two regain sight through cornea donation of late veteran journalist Zubeida Mustafa

Late veteran journalist Zubeida Mustafa, who passed away on July 9 at the age of 84, has given the gift of sight to two individuals through the donation of her corneas.

A pioneer in Pakistani journalism, Zubeida Mustafa had pledged in 1975 to donate her eyes after death.

Throughout her life, she remained a strong advocate for eye donation and the fight against preventable blindness.

Following her passing, one of her corneas was successfully transplanted into a school teacher who had been blind for many years.

According to doctors, the transplant went smoothly, and the teacher is expected to regain vision soon. The second transplant also brought vision back to another deserving recipient.

Zubeida Mustafa's legacy now lives on, not only through her contributions to journalism but also through the lives she touched even after her death.
