Zohra Fazal’s Cholecystectomy was a Remarkable Success

Zohra Fazal's Story

Zohra Fazal, a 35-year-old woman from Karachi, had been suffering from persistent pain in her upper right abdominal region for the past three years. Along with the pain, she experienced frequent episodes of nausea, vomiting, and difficulty digesting fatty foods. These symptoms made it extremely difficult for her to manage her household responsibilities and care for her six children. Concerned for her health, Zohra finally consulted a specialist at a local hospital. After performing an ultrasound scan and conducting necessary lab tests, the doctor diagnosed her with Cholelithiasis. The doctor advised a laparoscopic cholecystectomy—a surgery to remove the gallbladder.

Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery was more than Zohra and her family could afford. Zohra lives in a modest rented house with her husband and six children. Three of her children are enrolled in a government school. She depends entirely on her husband, who works as a daily wage laborer and earns only PKR 27,000 per month. After covering rent, school fees, and basic expenses, there was nothing left for medical treatment. Zohra tried to manage her condition with painkillers and dietary adjustments, but her symptoms kept returning.During this difficult time, Zohra turned to Transparent Hands for assistance. After reviewing her case, we registered her and made arrangements for her surgery.

On February 17, 2025, Zohra was admitted to Murshid Hospital in Karachi. Dr. Mariam successfully performed the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The procedure went smoothly, and Zohra was discharged in stable condition on February 19, 2025.

Zohra shared her gratitude as follows:

“I had lost hope of living without pain. This surgery has brought so much relief. I can now take care of my children without constant suffering. Thank you for making this surgery possible for me.”

Today, Zohra is healing well and has returned to her routine.

She and her family are deeply grateful to you for making her recovery possible.
