Abdul Waheed's Story

Abdul Waheed, a dedicated 39-year-old resident of Lahore, has been grappling with a non-healing wound in his perianal region for the past 1.5 years. The persistent pain and continuous discharge from the wound have made every day a big challenge for him. As the sole provider for his family, Abdul’s financial struggles have left him unable to afford the fistulectomy surgery he desperately needs.

Determined to find a solution, Abdul sought medical help, and after a comprehensive examination, he received a diagnosis of a high perianal fistula. The gravity of the situation became clear as the doctor explained the importance of a fistulectomy with Seton placement as the recommended course of action to treat Abdul’s condition. Amid this challenging time, Transparent Hands emerged as Abdul Waheed’s beacon of hope.

With the generous support of compassionate donors, Abdul was admitted to Lahore Care Hospital, where the skilled surgeon Dr. Ahmed Fawad performed the surgery with great success on February 15, 2024. The procedure aimed to remove the fistula and place a seton, allowing for proper healing and closure of the wound. After a period of post-operative care, Abdul was discharged from the hospital in satisfactory condition after one day.

By addressing the underlying issue and providing the necessary treatment, the surgery offered him a chance to reclaim his health and well-being. The persistent pain and discomfort that had plagued him for over a year and a half were finally alleviated, bringing him immense relief.
