Transparent Hands conducts the surgeries of deserving patients free of cost at private hospitals with the help of donations and charity.

3.   Donate to that particular patient and get tax exemption.
4.   Get regular updates of that patient until he/she gets fully recovered.

What makes us unique is; our transparency level that means donors will be ensured that each penny they are giving will be spent on the needy patients. We do this by uploading all the hospital bills and other documents of our patient after his/her surgery is successfully conducted. Donor can see that the exact amount hospital has charged against the surgery of that particular patient.

They need to know the circumstances of not treating a particular disease and what’d happen if they delay it for some reasons.
