You Saved Khair Un Nisa’s Life with Cardiac Surgery

Khair Un Nisa's Story

Khair Un Nisa, a one-year-old girl from Rahim Yar Khan, was born with a life-threatening heart condition. From her earliest days, her parents noticed that she struggled to breathe and often turned blue due to a lack of oxygen in her blood. Even simple movements made her gasp for breath and left her visibly exhausted. Her parents consulted a cardiologist, and after a series of diagnostic tests, Khair Un Nisa was diagnosed with Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The doctor recommended a CP-shunt procedure, which was the only option to save her life.

However, the cost of this major surgery was far beyond the family’s financial reach. Khair Un Nisa’s father works as a cleaner and earns just PKR 26,000 per month. The family lives in a modest rented house. Their income barely covers basic household needs for their family of four. Despite his hard work and dedication, Khair Un Nisa’s father simply could not afford the high cost of his daughter’s surgery. During their search for help, the family approached Transparent Hands. After learning about her case, we promptly registered Khair Un Nisa’s case.

On April 21, 2025, Khair Un Nisa was admitted to Ittefaq Hospital, Lahore. Dr. Asim Khan successfully performed her heart surgery. The procedure went smoothly, and after careful monitoring, she was discharged in stable condition on April 27, 2025.

Her parents shared their heartfelt emotions as follows:

“We were afraid that we would lose our daughter. Watching her struggle every day broke our hearts. This surgery has changed everything. She can breathe easily now and smiles more than ever. We are beyond grateful to everyone who made this surgery possible. You’ve given her the gift of life.”

Today, Khair Un Nisa is recovering well, and her breathing has improved significantly. Thanks to your generosity, this little girl now has a future full of hope and possibilities. You and the Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation made a positive impact on her life.
