Sameen Hamid’s Gallstones Were Removed Successfully

Sameen Hamid's Story

Sameen Hamid, a 28-year-old resident of Lahore, was suffering from acute upper abdomen pain. She faced intolerance to fatty meals and occasional bouts of nausea and vomiting. Despite receiving symptomatic treatment, she didn’t get relief. Over time, it became impossible for her to continue with her daily activities. She went to a doctor for a medical consultation. The doctor did a thorough examination and diagnosed Sameen with symptomatic gallstones—hard mineral deposits in the gallbladder. To relieve the pain and prevent further complications, her doctor advised an open cholecystectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder.

The financial strain of the surgery was overwhelming for Sameen’s family as they barely make ends meet. Sameen lives in a small rented house with a joint family of six members. Her husband’s meager monthly income is insufficient to meet the household expenses, in addition to the medical bills. Sameen’s condition was draining her emotionally and physically and she was feeling helpless.

With hope in her heart, she reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us for help. Thanks to the support of our donors, we were able to arrange the surgery for her at our panel hospital.

The day of hope arrived. On July 4, 2024, Sameen was admitted to the Lahore Care Hospital. The surgery was scheduled on the same day. Dr. Ahmed Fawad carefully performed her open cholecystectomy and made the surgery successful.

On July 5, 2024, Sameen was happily discharged from the hospital. Sameen described her happiness as follows:

“When I thought all hope was gone, your kindness brought light. Today marks a new beginning for me. I am so grateful for the support that made my surgery possible. I can never forget your generosity.”

The surgery that once seemed out of reach became a reality just because of you. Through this successful procedure, she can live a pain-free life. She can carry out her household tasks, and eat anything without the fear of having episodes of nausea or vomiting.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the donors who made this life-changing surgery possible. Your support has given Sameen, a future filled with hope and determination.
