Fatima Habib's Story
Fatima Habib, aged four, had sensorineural hearing loss since birth. In order to develop her sense of hearing, she was advised to have a cochlear implant surgery. Her operation was performed by Dr. Naveed Aslam on 11-11-2020 in National Hospital & Medical Center, Lahore. The internal component of the implant was fixed in this surgery behind Fatima Habib’s ear. She recovered well from the procedure and was discharged after one day of hospital stay. She was given follow-up advice to come back after 6 weeks for fixation of the external component of this device. The external component has also been installed now by Dr. Atif Ikram on 11.02.2021. Fatima Habib has started hearing and responding to sounds. She is on regular follow-ups by the audiologist now. Fatima’s family is grateful to Almighty, Transparent Hands, and to all the doctors and donors. Her parents said, “There are no words to describe the gratitude that we are feeling at the moment.”
