Success Story

Read how a free surgery funded by Transparent Hands donors transformed a patient's life.

Raja Sajjad Hussain, a 38-year-old man from Rawalpindi, had been suffering from pain in his upper right abdominal region for several months. The episodes of discomfort were often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, making even simple daily routines difficult for him. Realizing the increasing severity of his symptoms, Sajjad visited a local hospital for a detailed evaluation. After undergoing essential diagnostic tests and a thorough clinical assessment, the doctor diagnosed him with Cholelithiasis. To alleviate his symptoms and prevent future complications such as infection or obstruction of the bile ducts, his doctor recommended a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

However, Sajjad’s financial circumstances made it nearly impossible for him to arrange the cost of surgery. He lives in a modest home with his wife and is the only earning member of the family. His monthly income of PKR 35,000 barely supports their utility bills, food expenses, and other basic needs. Saving anything for healthcare was beyond their reach. With hope in their hearts, the family reached out to Transparent Hands for help. After listening to their concerns, we promptly registered his case.

On September 16, 2025, Sajjad was admitted to Rawal General and Dental Hospital in Islamabad. The following day, Dr. Ihtisham Muhammad successfully performed his Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. The surgeon removed the gallbladder safely. Sajjad recovered under careful monitoring and received instructions for rest and diet. He was discharged in stable condition on September 18, 2025.

Sajjad expressed his happiness as follows:

“I am sincerely grateful to you for supporting my treatment. The months of pain and discomfort had made my life incredibly difficult, but your help ensured that I finally received the much-needed surgery. I am recovering well now.”

Sajjad’s condition has improved significantly after surgery. He can now continue his work without constant discomfort, allowing him to support his household with confidence. His family is grateful to you for making his treatment possible and bringing new hope into his life.
