Gulnaz Safely Delivered a Baby Girl

Gulnaz Bibi's Story

Gulnaz, a 21-year-old woman from Karachi, faced a challenging moment in her life when she was pregnant with her first child. She was excited to welcome her first child, but her joy turned into anxiety when she went to a doctor to receive a consultation. Her doctor performed an ultrasound scan and some lab tests and found out that her child was in a breech presentation in her womb. Therefore, it was necessary for her to undergo a C-section procedure to avoid risk and potential complications. Gulnaz understood the necessity, but she knew that affording the surgery would be a struggle.

Gulnaz lived in a modest house with her two family members. Her husband, the sole breadwinner in the family, worked as a daily wage laborer and earned just PKR 28000 per month. This income was insufficient to even cover their essentials. Affording to pay for her surgery was significantly challenging for them. Gulnaz’s heart was filled with concern due to her condition and all the financial hardships in her life. Her pregnancy was high-risk and it was necessary for her to undergo a C-section. During this time of need, Gulnaz reached out to us and asked us for assistance. Moved by her plea, we registered her case.

On 15th September 2024, Gulnaz was admitted to Murshid Hospital in Karachi. The surgery took place on the same day. Dr. Farkhanda Saeed performed her C-section surgery. The procedure went smoothly and she gave birth to a healthy baby girl.

As she held her newborn, Gulnaz’s relief and happiness was indescribable. After the C-section, Gulnaz was hospitalized for two days and received post-operative care. On 16th September, Gulnaz was discharged in stable condition from the hospital. Gulnaz shared her emotions as follows:

“I was so afraid of what might happen without help. But because of your kindness, my baby is here, safe and healthy. I will always be grateful for what you’ve done for my family.”
