Jamila Saddique Had a Successful Thyroidectomy

Jamila Saddique's Story

In a relentless two-year battle against multinodular goiter (MNG), Jamila Saddique, a courageous 34-year-old from Lahore, found herself grappling with the debilitating hold of this condition. Exhausted and feeling trapped, she tirelessly sought medical assistance, yearning for a glimmer of hope to break through her despair. Finally, a general surgeon confirmed her diagnosis of simple multinodular goiter (MNG) and presented a potential solution—a subtotal thyroidectomy, a surgical procedure that held the promise of a healthier life.

Jamila’s journey was fraught with overwhelming challenges and a deep sense of helplessness. Living in a modest house with her husband and child, she relied solely on her husband’s income as a hardworking technician at a local hospital. The rising costs of daily expenses loomed like a dark cloud, casting uncertainty and fear over their ability to meet even the most basic needs of their family. The financial hurdle of affording the surgery seemed insurmountable, intensifying their struggle.

However, amidst the shadows of uncertainty, a ray of hope emerged when Jamila discovered Transparent Hands—a beacon of assistance for those in need. Gathering her courage, she reached out to the organization, seeking financial support for her thyroidectomy surgery. The compassionate donors rallied behind her cause, offering their support and generosity.

With the collective assistance of Transparent Hands and the selfless donors, Jamila’s path to healing began to take shape. Admitted to Lahore Care Hospital, she found herself under the care of Dr. Ahmed Fawad, a skilled surgeon renowned for his expertise and compassion. On March 26, 2024, the day of the surgery, Jamila’s hopes soared as Dr. Ahmed Fawad successfully performed the procedure.

After two days of attentive post-operative care, she was discharged from the hospital, and her condition was deemed satisfactory. With a renewed lease on life, Jamila Saddique looks towards the future with hope and gratitude, cherishing the precious moments that were made possible by the generosity of others.
