New Theatre Saves Kids in Pakistan | Belfast News

A brand new children’s operating theatre in Kotli, Pakistan, just opened — thanks to Scottish charity Kids Operating Room — and it’s set to save thousands of young lives. Designed to handle over 2,000 surgeries a year for more than 400,000 kids in Azad Kashmir, this facility cuts travel time, prevents preventable deaths, and eases family burdens. Spearheaded by local GP Dr. Tahir Mehmood, it’s part of a global mission: Kids Operating Room has installed 115 paediatric theatres in 36 countries, including six in Ukraine built to work without power. This theatre isn’t just medical infrastructure — it’s a lifeline, giving children a chance to grow up healthy, laugh, play, and dream without the shadow of untreated illness.
