KARACHI: July 9, 2016. (Dr. Khalid Soomro) Pakistan's most renowned and respected philanthropist and humanitarian Abdul Sattar Edhi passed away in Karachi on Friday at the age of 92. His son, Faisal Edhi, confirmed the news of his death. "Edhi sahab passed away tonight. I want to tell you all, Pakistan and the world, that he is not with us anymore," said Faisal Edhi. "His funeral prayers will be offered at the National Stadium in, Karachi after Zuhr prayers. He will be laid to rest, as per his wishes, at the Edhi village," he said. The renowned humanitarian, who was the founder and chairman of the Edhi Foundation, was diagnosed with kidney failure three years ago but was since unable to receive a transplant due to his poor health. He was brought to the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) for a regular dialysis earlier today, but was shifted to intensive care and put on the ventilator after he faced severe trouble in breathing. The philanthropist suffered from multiple diseases and complications, including diabetes, hypertension, and kidney failure. His son told reporters earlier today that he had also become very weak physically because of not being able to eat for some time. The Edhi Foundation is one of Pakistan's largest public welfare organisations which run one of the biggest fleets of ambulances, and dozens of clinics and orphanages in the country. In a last act of kindness and selflessness, Faisal Edhi said his father had wished that all his usable body organs be donated after his death. "He wished that his organs be donated after he passes away. Because of his (frail) condition, only his eyes can be donated," said his son, visibly emotional and in tears. Dr. Nazir S Bhatti, President of Pakistan Christian Congress PCC have expressed grief on demise of Abdul Sattar Edhi and termed him as true hero of Pakistan who served humanity all his life like a dedicated Muslim to help needy and deserving without race, color, religion and creed.
