Basanti Needs a C-Section to Deliver Her Baby Safely

Basanti Ganga Ram's Story

Basanti Ganga Ram, a 27-year-old woman from Karachi, is 37 weeks pregnant and is about to bring a new life into this world. This should be a time of excitement and hope, but for Basanti, it is overshadowed by worry and fear. Having already undergone four C-sections in the past, she understands the critical importance of this surgery. Recently, after a medical examination, her doctor strongly recommended a C-section once again. Her doctor warned her of the risks involved in attempting a normal delivery. However, the cost of the C-section is out of her family’s reach.

Without the recommended surgery, Basanti may face life-threatening complications such as uterine rupture, excessive bleeding, or even the loss of her baby.

Basanti belongs to an extremely underprivileged family. Her husband sells balloons, struggling each day to earn just PKR 400 to 500. This meager income barely covers their utility bills, food, and other living expenses. The family lives in a small hut with no access to basic comforts. Basanti’s two young daughters depend entirely on their parents, who are barely able to make ends meet. They are surviving in extreme poverty and the cost of the C-section is out of their financial capacity. Each passing day increases the risk to both her and her unborn child. During this time of need, Basanti contacted Transparent Hands and asked for help.

Basanti said in despair:

“I’m scared every day, thinking about what would happen to me and my baby. We don’t even have enough money for proper food. I just want a safe delivery and a healthy baby, but I can’t do it alone. I request you to help me in undergoing the C-section.”
