Zubaida Begum Found Relief After Hernia Surgery

Zubaida Begum's Story

Zubaida Begum, a 49-year-old woman from Lahore, experienced pain and discomfort caused by a lump in her umbilical area. Her condition made even the simplest daily tasks like cooking and walking challenging. As time passed, her health deteriorated, and she became increasingly dependent on her family. Concerned for her well-being, Zubaida visited a local hospital, where the doctor conducted lab tests and an ultrasound scan. She was diagnosed with a supraumbilical and right Spigelian hernia and recommended mesh hernioplasty, abdominal lipectomy, and Spigelian hernia repair to address the condition. However, the cost of the surgery was beyond her family’s financial capacity.

She lived in a modest house with her husband and three children. Her husband and sons work as daily wage laborers, earning a combined monthly income of just PKR 50,000. This meager amount barely covered their household expenses, leaving no room for additional medical costs. During her time of need, Zubaida reached out to Transparent Hands. Moved by her plight, we registered her case and arranged for her treatment.

On December 13, 2024, Zubaida underwent the required surgery at Lahore Care Hospital. Her surgery was successfully performed by Dr. Ahmed Fawad, ensuring her health and well-being. She received post-operative care and was discharged in stable condition on December 16, 2024.

Expressing her heartfelt gratitude, Zubaida said:

“My life was full of pain, and I felt helpless. Today, I feel like I’ve been given a second chance. I feel relief from the pain that has burdened me for so long and can finally live a life without discomfort. Thank you for helping me. I am deeply grateful.”

After the successful surgery, Zubaida looks forward to resuming her daily activities and taking care of her family without difficulty. Her family is overjoyed to see her reclaim her health and independence, and they are thankful to you for making this life-changing surgery possible.
