Give Madiha a Pain-Free Life Through Cholecystectomy
Madiha Bano's Story
Madiha Bano, a 35-year-old widow from Hyderabad, has been living with upper right abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting for the past six months. Her symptoms become especially painful after eating fatty meals, making it difficult for her to manage household responsibilities and take care of her three children. Concerned about her worsening condition, she visited a nearby doctor for a thorough evaluation. After the necessary laboratory investigations and an ultrasound scan, the doctor diagnosed her with cholelithiasis. Cholelithiasis is a condition in which hardened deposits, commonly known as gallstones, form inside the gallbladder, causing pain and digestive problems. To relieve her symptoms, the doctor has recommended a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery is beyond her financial means. Without the recommended surgery, Madiha’s condition may continue to worsen. Gallstones may lead to blockage of the bile ducts, infection, pancreatitis, and pain that can significantly affect her health and quality of life. Timely treatment is essential to prevent these potentially serious complications.
Madiha is a widow who struggles to support her family as a seamstress, earning only PKR 8,000 per month. This modest income is barely enough to cover basic household expenses. A charitable organization helps her by providing monthly groceries and paying her children’s school fees. Her elderly father is seriously ill and unable to contribute financially. As the mother of three young children, Madiha faces overwhelming financial hardships, making it impossible for her to afford her surgery.
Madiha shared her heartfelt plea as follows:
“After losing my husband, I have done everything I can to take care of my children despite numerous hardships. This illness has made it difficult for me to work and even complete daily tasks, but I cannot stop because my children depend on me. My modest income is only enough for our basic needs, and I have no way to afford this surgery. Kindly help me undergo this much-needed surgery.”
