Support Waqar’s Hip Replacement Surgery

Waqar Ali's Story

Waqar is unable to walk properly due to experiencing excruciating pain in his hip joints. He has been advised to undergo hip replacement surgery, but he is unable to pay for it due to financial constraints. You can help him get back on his feet with your donation. Please support Waqar’s hip replacement surgery to help him regain full mobility.

Waqar Ali, a 27-year-old resident of Kandyaro, has been suffering from blood cancer since 2019. A side effect of his cancer medication was that he started feeling pain in his hip joints. The doctor prescribed some pain killers for his hip joint pain but his pain didn’t subside. He is unable to walk now due to this pain. He went to the doctor again for his checkup and was diagnosed with bilateral hip Avascular Necrosis.

The orthopedic surgeon advised him to undergo a right Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery. In Total Hip Replacement surgery, the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Total hip replacement is the only treatment that will make it possible for him to walk without pain again, but it is also a costly surgery and he is unable to pay for it.

He is financially dependent on his father who earns just PKR 15,000 per month. With this little income, he cannot afford his son’s surgery. His father shared his distress with us in the following manner:

“First, he was diagnosed with cancer and now my young son is fighting with this painful disease. It has put us in another hardship as we cannot afford the surgery he needs. Please help us fight this disease.”

After a lot of distress, Waqar reached out to Transparent Hands for help. We have assured him that we will arrange his surgery. Now, all we need is your help. We urge you to support Waqar’s hip replacement surgery to ease his pain.
