Shumaila’s C-Section was Successful
Shumaila Bibi's Story
Shumaila Bibi, a 24-year-old woman from Karachi, was filled with anticipation as she approached the end of her second pregnancy. She had already undergone one C-section with her first child, which led her gynecologist to carefully monitor her pregnancy. After several checkups and considering her medical history, the doctor recommended an elective C-section for Shumaila. The decision was made to prevent any complications that might arise from attempting a natural delivery after her previous surgery. However, Shumaila’s family was unable to pay for her surgery.
Shumaila lived in a small brick house with her five family members. Her husband, the sole breadwinner in the family, worked as a daily wage laborer and used to make just PKR 30,000 per month. With this insufficient monthly income, they barely covered their necessities. They had limited resources and no savings at all to pay for Shumaila’s C-section. During this time of need, Shumaila turned to Transparent Hands and asked us for help. We listened to her concerns and swiftly registered her case.
On 03-08-2024, Shumaila was admitted to Murshid Hospital in Karachi. Dr. Farkhanda Saeed carefully managed her case and performed the surgery. The C-section was successful, and Shumaila delivered a beautiful baby girl.
Shumaila’s happiness was indescribable when she held her newborn in her arms, knowing she and her baby were safe. She was hospitalized for three days and received necessary medications and care from the medical staff. Shumaila said:
“Being pregnant with my second child, I was in desperate need of help. You stepped in and provided support which I needed at such a challenging time. I’m beyond grateful.”
You made a meaningful impact on her life, allowing her to embrace motherhood once again with joy and hope. She is on her way to beginning a new chapter of her life filled with happiness and love. You changed Shumaila’s life and we are grateful for it.
