Ease Musarat’s Gallbladder Pain

Musarat Khatoon's Story

Musarat Khatoon, a 54-year-old woman from Rawalpindi, has been experiencing pain in her right upper abdomen for the past two months. Alongside pain, she also faces indigestion and frequent vomiting. Despite taking symptomatic treatment, her condition worsened over time. Hoping to find relief, she decided to consult a specialist. After running some lab tests and an ultrasound scan, the doctor diagnosed her with Cholelithiasis – it is the medical term for gallstone disease, where stones form in the gallbladder. To relieve her pain and discomfort, the doctor recommended laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, the surgical cost is out of her family’s financial capacity.

If Musarat doesn’t get the surgery soon, her health may continue to deteriorate due to poor dietary intake. Moreover, continued intake of medicines will disturb her stomach and she won’t be able to maintain a healthy diet.

Musarat lives in a modest rented house with her husband and two children. Her husband and one son are daily wage laborers and earn just PKR 38000 per month. With this insufficient monthly income, they hardly manage house rent of PKR 11,000 and utility bills amounting to PKR 3000 per month. Musarat’s family wants to provide her with care and relief but their financial limitations prevent them from doing so. During this time of need, Musarat contacted Transparent Hands and asked for help.

Musarat expressed her heartfelt plea as follows:

“I am facing severe pain every day. I wish to live without it, to move freely and embrace life again. Your support can help me achieve a life without constant suffering. I request you to please help me during this time of need.”

Musarat Khatoon's Story

Musarat Khatoon, a 54-year-old woman from Rawalpindi, had been suffering from pain in her upper right abdominal region for the past two months. Moreover, she faced nausea, vomiting and intolerance to fatty meals. She received symptomatic treatment but couldn’t find relief. After suffering for a while, she consulted a specialist, who conducted lab tests and an ultrasound scan and diagnosed Musarat with Cholelithiasis. To alleviate her pain and discomfort, her doctor strongly recommended laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, the surgical cost was out of her family’s reach.

Musarat lived in a small rented house with her husband and two children. Her husband and one son worked as daily wage laborers and made just PKR 38,000 per month. This meager income went towards utility bills, food and other living expenses. They struggled to make ends meet and Musarat’s much-needed surgery was costly and they didn’t have means to pay for her treatment. Musarat was extremely concerned about her illness as it badly affected her quality of life and she could do nothing but to be patient. A day came when a well-wisher told her about Transparent Hands. She contacted us and asked for help. Moved by her plea, we quickly registered her case.

On February 5, 2025, Musarat was admitted to Maryam Memorial Hospital in Rawalpindi. Her surgery was successfully performed by Dr. Afsheen. She performed the procedure with great care. After receiving post-operative care, she was discharged in stable condition on February 6, 2025. Musarat expressed her heartfelt gratitude as follows: “Before surgery, my life was filled with pain and suffering. I couldn’t fulfill my responsibilities as a mother and wife. Now, after the surgery, I feel like a new person. I have finally overcome the illness that caused me immense discomfort. I am extremely thankful to you for helping me during my difficult time.” Musarat can now take care of her children, cook meals for them and spend quality time with her family. This significant change has been made possible with your support. Your contributions relieved Musarat of her intense pain and gave her new hope and courage.
