Zohan Ahmed’s Life-Saving Surgery was Successful

Zohan Ahmed's Story

Zohan Ahmed, a one-year-old resident of Rahim Yar Khan, has endured a challenging journey marked by cyanosis, dyspnea, and an increased heart rate on mild exertion since birth. Concerned about their child’s deteriorating health, his parents wasted no time and immediately sought medical assistance at a nearby hospital. Following a series of diagnostic tests and a thorough evaluation, the cardiologist delivered the heart-wrenching news: Zohan was diagnosed with a ventricular septal defect (VSD). The only viable solution to save his precious life was Open-Heart Surgery for VSD closure, as advised by the cardiac surgeon.

However, the cost of the surgery stood as an insurmountable barrier for Zohan’s family. Living in a joint family of eight members, Zohan’s father earned a modest income of only PKR 30,000 per month. Desperate to secure their son’s future, Zohan’s parents reached out to Transparent Hands, seeking support and registering his case.

With unwavering determination and the invaluable support of Transparent Hands, Zohan was admitted to Ittefaq Hospital in Lahore. On September 18, 2023, the skilled hands of Dr. Asim Khan performed a successful operation, which involved median sternotomy and VSD closure. Zohan received comprehensive care during his five-day hospital stay, ensuring a smooth and successful recovery.

This extraordinary success story serves as a powerful testament to the life-saving impact of Transparent Hands. Through their unwavering support, the overwhelming burden faced by Zohan’s family was alleviated, enabling him to receive the critical treatment he desperately needed.

Zohan’s journey exemplifies the resilience and strength of the human spirit. The compassionate contributions from Transparent Hands, Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation, and their donors not only granted Zohan a second chance at life but also instilled hope and inspiration within his family. Their acts of kindness and generosity showcased the remarkable impact that can be achieved when individuals unite to make a difference.
