You Changed Sumaira’s Life with Cholecystectomy

Sumaira Asim's Story

Sumaira Asim, a 41-year-old woman from Lahore, had been facing persistent right upper abdominal pain for several years. Along with the constant discomfort, she also suffered from nausea and vomiting, which often worsened after meals. The condition made it difficult for her to care for her three children. Despite taking various medications, her condition remained unresolved. Sumaira decided to consult a specialist, who performed diagnostic tests and an ultrasound scan and diagnosed her with symptomatic gallstones. The doctor recommended an open cholecystectomy but its cost was beyond her family’s means.

Sumaira, a single mother, is the sole breadwinner in her household. She works as a housemaid, earning only PKR 20,000 a month, a meager income that barely covers the basic needs of her family. The loss of her husband had left her in a difficult financial situation. Paying for the surgery seemed impossible. During this challenging time, Sumaira reached out to Transparent Hands. After reviewing her case, we immediately registered her case.

On December 03, 2024, Sumaira was admitted to Lahore Care Hospital, where her surgery was successfully performed by Dr. Ahmed Fawad. The procedure went smoothly, and after two days of post-operative care, she was discharged in stable condition on December 05, 2024.

Sumaira expressed her gratitude with deep emotions as follows:

“I was worried about how I would be able to get better, but you made it happen. Your support has given me a second chance to live a healthier life and take care of my children. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

After the successful surgery, Sumaira has found relief from the pain that had consumed her life for years. Her children are overjoyed to see their mother regain her health, and they are filled with hope for the future. Sumaira and her family are extending their deepest gratitude to you.
