Committed To Provide Free Surgeries To Those Who Cannot Afford

Quick and Easy Way to Save Peoples’ Lives

Transparent Hands funds surgeries of deserving patients using a global Crowdfunding platform. The platform provides visibility of needy patients and builds a personal and trusted bond between patients and donors while ensuring complete transparency.

Where Is the Problem?

More than 70 million people in Pakistan are living below the poverty line due to which they are unable to undergo proper health treatment if they experience any disease. Estimated amount of surgery backlog in Pakistan is in millions every year.

• There are not many health insurance plans for underprivileged community. They have to pay out of pocket if they need any medical treatment but due to the limited or no resources, majority is unable to undergo surgical treatment.
• Beyond the cost of the surgical procedure, they might have to pay for pre and post-operative expenses which includes medical tests, medications, hospital stay and other expenses. It is almost impossible for someone who earns less than $2 a day to pay hefty amount for medical relief.
• There is lack of advanced medical facilities and medical professionals due to which lower middle class families are unable to avail treatment facilities.
• There are a limited number of beds in hospitals but the number of patients visiting these hospitals is a lot more.
• Every second patient including a child is put on a long waiting list and during the waiting period, the patient’s health further deteriorates. In most of the cases, patients expire until their turn comes.
• There is no advanced healthcare services in slums due to which majority of people have to rely on quacks in their areas.
• Private hospitals are out of reach for deprived community due to the high costs of consultation fees and surgical procedure.

Our Impact on Pakistani Community

As a non-profit organization, Transparent Hands is currently dealing in a number of surgeries including orthopedic, cardiac, neurology, gynecology and other general surgeries. It’s currently striving to bring full range of these surgical specialties. Transparent Hands also aims to expand to other areas of Pakistan where the poverty stricken community has no means of getting better healthcare facilities. There are small hospitals and clinics which are far away from slum areas. Other main reason is that these people are unable to afford the medical treatment for relief let alone surgical procedure.

Here, the need is to create awareness among our underprivileged people regarding various diseases. They need to know the circumstances of not treating a particular disease and what’d happen if they delay it for some reasons. Not only this, people must have knowledge about symptoms of most common diseases including kidney stones, bladder stones, fibroid in women, hernia and heart defects.

A large number of patients, who came to Transparent Hands in hope for relief, consisted of children suffering from congenital heart defects. Children from 2 months up to 15 years old were treated in past. These little souls had hole in their heart which needed to be repaired otherwise it would have resulted in further deterioration of health. All of the families were from other provinces of Pakistan and they had to come to Lahore in search of free and best health care treatment for their little kids. Transparent Hands made sure to provide the best surgical treatment to them free of cost. Not only this, we also paid for all the postoperative expenses of patients. The mission of Transparent Hands is to give medical relief to many more children, elderly and old people with the help of fundraising. Here at Transparent Hands, all the patients are treated with proper care and love. They are not discriminated at any stage of their treatment.
