Momin’s Life-Saving Heart Surgery Supported by Transparent Hands

Muhammad Momin's Story

Momin, a one-year-old resident of Lahore, has been grappling with shortness of breath, cyanosis, and an inability to gain weight since birth. Concerned about their child’s health, his parents sought medical help at a local hospital. Following a series of diagnostic tests and evaluations, Momin received a devastating diagnosis of complex congenital heart conditions, including Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and Major Aortopulmonary Collateral Arteries (MAPCA). The only viable solution to save Momin’s life was Open-Heart Surgery for total correction, as advised by the cardiac surgeon.

However, the financial burden of Momin’s surgery proved to be overwhelming for his father, whose limited income made it impossible to afford the hefty cost of the cardiac procedure. Desperate for a solution, Momin’s family reached out to Transparent Hands, submitting the necessary documents and registering his case.
