Malala has successful skull surgery

LONDON: A Pakistani schoolgirl shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating girls’ education has undergone successful surgery at a British hospital to reconstruct her skull and help restore lost hearing.
A team of doctors carried out a five-hour operation on Saturday on 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in October and brought to Britain for treatment.
The procedures carried out were cranial reconstruction, aimed at mending parts of her skull with a titanium plate, and a cochlear implant designed to restore hearing on her left side, which was damaged in the attack.
“Both operations were a success and Malala is now recovering in hospital,” said a statement on Sunday from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, central England, where she is being treated.
The girl’s condition was described as stable and the statement said her medical team was very pleased with the progress she has made. “She is awake and talking to staff and members of her family,” it added.
The attack on Yousafzai, who was shot in the head at point blank range as she left school in the Swat valley, drew widespread international condemnation.
She has become an international symbol of resistance to the Taliban’s efforts to deny women education and other rights, and more than 250,000 people have signed online petitions calling for her to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Yousafzai will now continue recuperating at the Queen Elizabeth hospital, which has a specialist unit where doctors have treated hundreds of soldiers wounded in conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, the hospital statement said.

Getting better day by day: Malala in her 1st video message - Rediff.com India News

Malala Yousufzai, the Pakistani teenage rights activist shot in the head by Taliban [ Images ], has made her first video statement on Monday, since she was nearly killed, saying she was recovering and thanked everyone for her ‘second life’.

Speaking clearly but with a slight stiffness in her upper lip, 15-year-old Malala said she was ‘getting better, day by day’.

"Today you can see that I am alive," she said in the video. "I can speak, I can see you, I can see everyone. It's just because of the prayers of people. Because all people -- men, women, children -- all of them have prayed for me," The Mirror quoted her as saying.

"And because of all these prayers God has given me this new life -- a second life. And I want to serve. I want to serve the people. I want every girl, every child, to be educated. For that reason, we have organised the Malala Fund," she said.

Malala drew the world's attention when she was shot by Taliban terrorists on October 9 on a school bus in north-western Pakistan. A bullet was removed from her head by surgeons in Pakistan, before she was flown to the United Kingdom for specialised treatment.

She underwent two successful surgeries on Saturday including one to fix a titanium plate on her skull. Malala had been discharged as an inpatient from the hospital in January after undergoing weeks of specialist treatment.

The Queen Elizabeth is also home to the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, which has treated many of the injured servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan.

Earlier last week, Malala was reported to have been nominated for this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

Her speech inspires even a person who has lost faith and hope like me in my people. I spread a lot of cynicism but am not a traitor to my land, Pakistan.

My tribute to the lioness of Swat. When I know better Pastho I will write a poem for her. I promise.
