Success Story
Read how a free surgery funded by Transparent Hands donors transformed a patient's life.
Sabiha Riaz, a 40-year-old woman from Karachi, was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her child. With a medical history of one C-section, Sabiha was fully aware of the risks associated with her pregnancy. During a routine antenatal visit, Sabiha’s gynecologist carefully reviewed her medical records and current condition. After a thorough examination, the doctor advised a planned C-section for childbirth. Given her previous surgery, attempting a normal delivery could cause serious, life-threatening complications for both mother and child.
Unfortunately, the cost of the surgical procedure was far beyond what Sabiha’s family could afford. She lives in a modest home with her husband and two young daughters. Her husband works as a laborer and earns hardly PKR 20,000 per month. This limited income barely covers household expenses such as food and utilities, leaving no financial capacity for a C-section. The stress of arranging money added to Sabiha’s anxiety during her pregnancy. In this difficult situation, Sabiha and her family reached out to Transparent Hands for support. After careful evaluation of her medical condition and financial circumstances, her case was registered.
On December 8, 2025, Sabiha was admitted to the Murshid Hospital in Karachi. Dr. Farkhanda Saeed performed the C-section, and Sabiha safely gave birth to a healthy baby boy. She was kept under close post-operative observation and discharged in stable condition on December 10, 2025.
Sabiha shared her emotions in the following words: “I was constantly worried about my life and my baby’s safety. When I held my baby boy after surgery, I felt relief and happiness. Your support protected my life and filled my home with happiness. I will always be grateful for your kindness.”
Today, Sabiha is recovering well and caring for her newborn son. Her family is overjoyed, and her quality of life has improved significantly. They are deeply thankful to you for ensuring a safe delivery and giving their family a precious new beginning.
