Afzal’s Underwent Hepatitis C Treatment Successfully

Muhammad Afzal's Story

Muhammad Afzal, a 39-year-old resident of Sialkot, found himself in a challenging predicament as he battled both the physical symptoms of hepatitis C and the hardships of a life mired in poverty. His monthly income of a mere 10,000 PKR was barely enough to support his beloved wife and young child. Afzal’s world was turned upside down when he received a diagnosis of hepatitis C after experiencing a range of debilitating symptoms, including fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dark urine.

Upon seeking medical assistance and undergoing a series of tests, the harsh reality became apparent: Afzal required a three-month course of medication to combat the hepatitis C virus. However, the financial burden of such treatment loomed over him like an insurmountable obstacle. Faced with a heartbreaking dilemma, Afzal found himself torn between sacrificing his health or providing for his family’s basic needs. In a desperate plea for help, he reached out to Transparent Hands.
