Ensure a Safe Delivery for Ishrat with a C-Section

Ishrat Usman's Story

Ishrat Usman, a 28-year-old woman from  Karachi, is preparing to welcome her third child into the world. While pregnancy is usually a time of joy and anticipation, Ishrat’s heart has been overshadowed by stress and uncertainty. After confirming her pregnancy, she consulted a gynecologist at a local hospital. Given her medical history of two previous C-sections, the doctor advised her to undergo another C-section to ensure the safety of both the mother and baby. Unfortunately, the cost of this surgery is far beyond what her family can manage.

Without the recommended C-section, Ishrat is at risk of life-threatening complications such as uterine rupture, excessive bleeding, and fetal distress. A natural delivery is not an option, and delaying the surgery may endanger both her life and the life of her unborn child.

Ishrat lives in a modest rented house with her husband and two young children. Her husband works as a laborer and earns only PKR 18,000 per month. Out of this amount, PKR 7000 goes towards rent, and another PKR 3000 is spent on utility bills. Additionally, the couple pays PKR 1500 each month for their children’s education. On top of these regular expenses, the family is burdened with a heavy loan of PKR 300,000. With no savings and barely enough income to cover daily necessities, the cost of Ishrat’s C-section is unaffordable for them.

With tearful eyes, Ishrat said:

“I only want a safe delivery and a healthy baby. My husband is doing all he can, but the expenses are too much for us. I am afraid that our financial condition might harm my baby. Please stand by us during this time of need.”
