Zubaida awaits Cardiac Surgery. Before you go on to read the painful details of Zubaida Bibi’s ailment, please know that your contributions will relieve her of her pain and will bring her comfort. Therefore, we request you to please play your part and donate for Zubaida’s Cardiac Surgery.
Fifty-six years old Zubaida Bibi, a resident of Kati Ghari, Mardan has been enduring pain in chest and shortness of breath for the past five years. Upon consultation, she was prescribed symptomatic treatment but over time her condition only worsened. She went to the hospital and was assessed by a Cardiologist. After running a few diagnostic tests and evaluating the reports, the Cardiologist diagnosed Zubaida Bibi with Rheumatic Heart Disease. Rheumatic heart disease is a condition in which the heart valves have been permanently damaged by rheumatic fever. The heart valve damage may start shortly after untreated or under-treated streptococcal infection such as strep throat or scarlet fever. The doctor advised her to undergo a Mitral Valve Replacement but unfortunately, the procedure is beyond her financial affordability.
Zubaida’s son works as a laborer and earns a meager amount of money to support their family. He earns PKR. 10,000 a month and that is hardly enough to pay bills and put food on the table. Zubaida’s son told us:
“Seeing my mother going through this pain gives me that helpless feeling. A mother goes to every extent for their children and now when it’s my turn to pay back I can’t do anything for her. Please, whoever is reading this, please help my mother get better.”
Luckily now that Zubaida has been connected and registered with Transparent Hands, we are more than happy to assist her procedure. Zubaida awaits Cardiac Surgery, but this will not be possible without your contribution and generous support. , Hence we request you to please donate for her.
Please Note: In certain situations, we proceed with the patient's surgery/medical procedure despite incomplete funding displayed on the website. Following the surgery/medical procedure, we persist in collecting funds and maintain the campaign on the website until funding is secured in full. Hospitals have granted us a grace period for bill payment.
