You Saved Muhammad Subhan’s Life

Muhammad Subhan's Story

Muhammad Subhan, a five-year-old boy from Sargodha, was suffering from severe cardiac issues. He was suffering with symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue since birth. As he grew older his condition worsened. Subhan had his first surgery for DCSA VSD and PS repair in February 2020. His health improved slightly after the surgery, but he still felt lethargic. In a follow-up consultation, his doctor recommended RVOTO Resection.

The thought of another surgery made him and his family anxious. They wanted him to undergo this life-saving surgery, but they feared that the cost of the surgery was beyond their financial capacity.

Muhammad Subhan’s father, Muhammad Usman, teaches at a local seminary and finds it difficult to make ends meet. He only earns PKR 15,000 per month. The family doesn’t own a house. They don’t have any other source of income. Subhan has two siblings, who study at a local madrassa. Their inability to pay for Subhan’s surgery worried everyone in his family. With time running out, something had to be done.

Luckily, Subhan’s neighbors told the family about Transparent Hands, and we registered his case. Subhan was admitted to the Ittefaq Hospital, Lahore, on 19-08-2024 for the advised surgery. The next day, Dr. Syed Salman Ahmad Shah conducted the Re-do open heart surgery successfully, and Subhan was discharged on 23-08-2024.

Subhan now feels more active than he ever did. His family loves the fact that he is full of life and energy. Muhammad Usman, his father, is very thankful to everyone who helped and said: “I can’t express my feelings in words. Transparent Hands has changed our lives. I would also like to thank the doctors, hospital management, and everyone who contributed to Subhan’s successful surgery.”

Subhan is very happy with his newly found energy and has been given the opportunity to grow like other children.
