Donate for Iqra Bibi’s Septoplasty
Iqra Bibi's Story
Iqra Bibi, a 27-year-old resident of Karachi, who has been enduring recurrent attacks of watery rhinorrhea and a persistently blocked nose. Initially, she sought symptomatic treatment for her symptoms, hoping for relief. However, as time went on, her condition only worsened, prompting her to seek further medical attention.
With hope in her heart, Iqra visited the local hospital’s free medical camp, where she was examined by a doctor. After undergoing several diagnostic tests, a diagnosis was finally reached: Iqra had a deflected nasal septum (DNS), a condition that required a surgical procedure known as septoplasty for proper correction. The doctor emphasized the importance of the surgery to alleviate Iqra’s discomfort and improve her overall quality of life.
Iqra’s situation is further complicated by her family’s financial constraints. As a dedicated housewife, she relies on her husband, who works as a daily wager, as the sole breadwinner. Their monthly income of PKR 25,000 barely covers their essential expenses, including rent of PKR 3,000, utility bills amounting to PKR 2,000, and a looming loan repayment of PKR 200,000. In such circumstances, Iqra and her husband find themselves unable to afford the surgical expenses required to restore her health.
The burden of this predicament weighs heavily on Iqra’s husband, who longs to see his wife living a healthy and pain-free life. He strives to meet the family’s basic needs, but the additional financial strain of the surgical expenses proves to be overwhelming.
Iqra’s husband said it in a depressed tone:
“My heart aches as I cannot afford the surgical expenses that my wife, Iqra, desperately needs to find relief from her health struggles.”

Iqra Bibi's Story
Iqra Bibi, a 27-year-old woman from Karachi, had been experiencing nasal blockage for four years and headaches for two years. She had recurrent episodes of rhinorrhea (runny nose). Her condition badly impacted her quality of life and it was difficult for her to breathe, sleep, and carry out her routine tasks. She consulted a doctor about her condition. After a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed her with Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS) and recommended Septoplasty - a surgical procedure to correct the deviated nasal septum. However, the cost of the surgery was overwhelming for Iqra’s family.
Iqra lives in a modest rented house with her husband and mother-in-law. Her husband works as a daily wager and earns PKR 25000 monthly. With this insufficient monthly income, they hardly cover the household bills and living expenses. However, Iqra desperately needed the surgery. Her health challenges were physically and emotionally draining her. In this dark moment, Iqra reached out to Transparent Hands. We listened to her concerns and registered her case.
On June 26, 2024, Iqra was admitted to Murshid Hospital, Karachi. An experienced surgeon, Dr. Mubashir performed her septoplasty. He successfully corrected the deviation in Iqra's nasal septum.
Iqra was discharged from the hospital on June 27, 2024, just one day after the surgery. Iqra’s DNS symptoms were finally gone. She could breathe freely without the constant pain and discomfort that had become her daily reality. Iqra Bibi expressed her gratitude as follows:
“I never thought that I would ever get relief from this illness but you made it possible through your generous support. I am at a loss for words to describe my happiness. You changed my life.”
The successful surgery not only brought back the health of Iqra Bibi but also restored her hope for the future. It has empowered her to embrace a future with renewed energy and enthusiasm. We are incredibly grateful to you for making this life-altering surgery possible. Iqra can now spend her life without the limitations caused by her illness. You have given her the chance to live fully once again.
