Success Story
Read how a free surgery funded by Transparent Hands donors transformed a patient's life.
Tabassum Ajmal, an 18-year-old girl from Karachi, was struggling with throat problems. She suffered from repeated episodes of sore throat and fever, which gradually became more severe. The constant pain made it difficult for her to eat properly, speak comfortably, and focus on her studies. Concerned about her worsening condition, Tabassum visited a local hospital, where a doctor conducted a detailed examination. She was diagnosed with Chronic Tonsillitis. The doctor recommended a Tonsillectomy as the most effective treatment to relieve her symptoms.
Unfortunately, the cost of surgery was beyond the family’s financial capacity. Tabassum lives in a one-room brick house with her parents and four siblings. Her father works as a driver and earns only PKR 25,000 per month, which is barely sufficient to meet basic household expenses. With limited income and increasing medical needs, arranging money was impossible. During this difficult time, Tabassum’s family approached Transparent Hands. After listening to her concerns, we swiftly registered her case.
On September 10, 2025, Tabassum was admitted to Murshid Hospital, Karachi. Dr. Mubashir Abdul Razzak successfully performed her Tonsillectomy. The surgery was a smooth success, and she received essential post-operative care. Tabassum was discharged in stable condition from the hospital on September 11, 2025.
Tabassum’s parents shared their feelings as follows: “Our daughter suffered from constant throat pain and fever, which affected her studies and confidence. Medicines never gave lasting relief, and we were worried about her future. Due to your support, she finally received the surgery. She is feeling much better each day. We are truly thankful to you for easing her pain.”
Today, Tabassum is recovering steadily. She is gradually returning to her studies and daily activities. She is thankful to you, as your support has restored her health and hope for a more comfortable and focused future.
