You Eased Nida’s Pain Through Herniotomy

Nida Bibi's Story

Nida Azizullah, a 10-year-old girl from Hub Chowki, Balochistan, had been suffering from a painful lump in her right groin. Over time, the lump continued to grow, causing her increasing discomfort and limiting her ability to play and enjoy her childhood. Concerned about their daughter’s condition, Nida’s parents took her to a nearby hospital. After a thorough examination, lab tests, and an ultrasound scan, the doctor diagnosed her with a right inguinal hernia. Her doctor recommended a herniotomy—a surgical procedure necessary to correct the hernia and prevent future health issues. Unfortunately, her family was unable to pay for her surgery.

Nida lived in a small rented house with her parents and two school-going siblings. Her father worked as a daily wage laborer, and earned just PKR 15,000 per month. This income was insufficient to cover their essentials. Struggling to make ends meet, the family had no way to afford the surgery their daughter desperately needed. During their search for help, Nida’s parents came across Transparent Hands. After hearing their story, we immediately registered her case.

On February 17, 2025, Nida was admitted to Murshid Hospital, Karachi. Her herniotomy was successfully performed by Dr. Khair Jan. After proper post-operative care and recovery support, she was discharged in stable condition on February 18, 2025.

Nida’s parents expressed their heartfelt gratitude as follows:

“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped our daughter. Watching her in pain broke our hearts, and we felt helpless because we couldn’t afford the surgery. Thanks to your support, she is healthy and smiling again. You have given her a new start, and we will never forget this kindness.”

Nida’s life has taken a joyful turn since her surgery. She is now pain-free, active, and able to enjoy her childhood without discomfort.

Her parents are deeply thankful to you.
