Najma is No longer Facing Gallbladder Pain After Surgery

Najma Jabbar's Story

Najma Abdul Jabbar, a 45-year-old woman from Hyderabad, had been suffering from persistent pain in her upper right abdominal region for the past year. Alongside the pain, she frequently faced nausea, vomiting, and intolerance to fatty meals. As her condition worsened, Najma decided to seek medical advice. She visited a local hospital, where the doctor conducted a detailed evaluation, including ultrasound scans and lab tests. The doctor diagnosed Najma with Cholelithiasis and strongly recommended a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, the cost of this surgery was far beyond her financial means.

Najma lives in a small mud house with her husband and three school-going children. Her husband works as a daily wage laborer, earning between PKR 500 and 700 per day. Unfortunately, his income is inconsistent, as there are days when he returns home without any earnings due to a lack of available work. With school expenses, household needs, and rising living costs, the family was struggling to make ends meet, leaving no room for medical expenses. During their moment of need, Najma and her family turned to Transparent Hands for help. With the support of generous donors, arrangements were made for her surgery.

On April 8, 2025, Najma was admitted to Isra University Welfare Hospital in Hyderabad. Dr. Waseem performed the laparoscopic cholecystectomy successfully on April 10, 2025. After a smooth post-operative recovery, Najma was discharged in stable condition from the hospital on April 12, 2025.

Najma shared her heartfelt gratitude as follows:

“You brought light into my dark days. The constant pain that controlled my life is gone, and I can finally smile and care for my family again. Thank you for helping me when I had no one else to turn to.”

Thanks to your kindness, Najma now looks forward to a healthier, more comfortable life, free from the pain that once held her back.
