‘Ali Noor Is In a Serious Condition But Doesn’t Need Liver Transplant’

Ali Noor, lead vocalist of rock band Noori, is in a serious condition and hospitalised after being suffering from hepatitis.

There were reports that he needs an urgent liver transplant and some people had even used social to make an appeal, but his brother Ali Hamza clarified the situation, saying he didn’t require liver transplant and his condition was improving.

However, donors, who can only be family members, were being arranged as contingency plan, The Express Tribune and other media outlets reported.

Hamza in a social media post said there was no need to panic as yet and Ali would very soon be back on his feet. “He has suffered an intense bout of Hepatitis A. There is a possibility of liver damage, but he’s being monitored by the best in the business.”

About the donors, he said, “As for needing a liver donor, the doctors are saying that we do need to have people on standby, but they can only be family members – our local law does not allow outside of family donors.”

Earlier, Azam Jamil – an uncle of Ali – had posted these tweets.

Zebunnisa Burki too shared information similar to that by Hamza

Thank you for all your help, good people of Twitter. Update re Ali Noor: he will need a standby donor but that can only be family (local laws). Also: he will hopefully prob not even need a transplant. So thats just great news to start the day with! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
