You Supported Noor Hassan’s Knee Replacement Surgery

Noor Hassan's Story

Noor Hassan, a 68-year-old man from Mardan, had been suffering from persistent right knee pain for many years. Even basic activities like standing, walking within his home, or performing daily tasks became a significant challenge for Noor. To navigate through life, he often relied on support from others. Deeply worried about his condition, Noor visited a nearby hospital, where the doctor conducted an X-ray and some lab tests. The results revealed he had right knee osteoarthritis. To restore his mobility and alleviate his suffering, the doctor recommended total knee replacement surgery. Unfortunately, the cost of the procedure was beyond Noor’s financial means.

Noor lived in a small mud house with his five family members. Due to intense knee pain and discomfort, Noor was unable to work and provide for his family. His son, the sole breadwinner in the family, worked as a daily wage laborer and made just PKR 20,000 per month. This income was insignificant to even cover their utility bills and food expenses. Living in such extreme poverty, Noor’s family could not afford the life-changing surgery. During this time of need, Noor reached out to Transparent Hands for assistance. After verifying his condition and circumstances, Transparent Hands registered his case.

On January 06, 2024, Noor was admitted to Zia Darman Hospital in Mardan. His surgery took place on the same day. Dr. Aimen Zia successfully performed his right knee replacement surgery. After receiving post-operative care, Noor was discharged in stable condition on January 08, 2025.

Noor’s surgery has given him a fresh start. After years of bearing constant pain and immobility, he is now recovering and regaining his independence. Grateful for the support, Noor shared his emotions as follows:

“I never imagined I’d be able to walk without pain again. Your generosity enabled me to stand on my feet and regain my independence. I am deeply grateful for your generous support which brought hope and relief back into my life.”

Noor’s family is overjoyed to see him healing and resuming his life without pain. The successful surgery has not only changed Noor’s life but also brought new hope and happiness to his family. They extend their deepest gratitude to you for making a significant difference in Noor’s life.
