BIRMINGHAM: Malala Yousafzai will undergo reconstructive surgery according to the medical director of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Dave Rosser.
Rosser added that doctors were currently holding consultations regarding the surgery.
Earlier while speaking to the media, Rosser said British colleagues who were in Pakistan when Malal was shot believed she had “a chance of making a good recovery”.
"Clearly it would be inappropriate on every level, not least for her, to put her through all of this if there was no hope of decent recovery," he told reporters.
The 14 year old is currently being kept in the intensive care unit of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Malala along with two other female students were attacked by the Taliban outside their school in Mingora, Swat.
Malala was shot in the head and the bullet had been lodged in her neck. The bullet was removed during surgery and Malala was transferred to the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) in Rawalpindi for further treatment.
She was flown to Birmingham via an air ambulance provided by the UAE on Tuesday.
