Ezan Bibi’s Incisional Hernia Was Successfully Treated

Ezan Bibi's Story

Ezan Bibi, a 55-year-old resident of Karachi, had been battling with a growing health issue for the past six years. After undergoing a cholecystectomy, she developed swelling near the site of her previous surgical scar. Initially mild, the swelling gradually increased in size over the years and became more painful with time. However, the pain eventually grew so severe that even basic household chores became impossible for her. Alarmed by her deteriorating condition, her family took her to a local hospital, where she underwent several tests and a thorough medical evaluation. The doctors diagnosed her with an incisional hernia, a condition that occurs when internal tissues push through a weakened area of the abdominal wall at the site of a past surgery. To prevent further complications and to relieve her symptoms, the doctors recommended a mesh repair surgery.

Unfortunately, the cost of this essential surgical procedure was far beyond Ezan’s means. She lives in a small rented house with her joint family of five. Her son, the sole earner of the household, works as a shopkeeper and earns only PKR 25,000 per month. With such limited income, the family struggles to cover daily expenses. During their search for help, they reached out to Transparent Hands. After reviewing her case, we registered Ezan for free surgical assistance.

On June 17, 2025, she was admitted to Altamash General Hospital, Karachi. There, Dr. Shameen Shoaib successfully performed the mesh repair surgery for her incisional hernia. After receiving appropriate post-operative care, Ezan was discharged in good health on June 20, 2025.

Ezan Bibi said with happiness:
“I had been in pain for years and thought I would never get better. With your support, I was able to receive the surgery. I can now move around and take care of my home without pain. I am truly grateful to you for supporting my surgery.”

Ezan has now returned to a life free of pain and limitations. With the swelling gone and mobility restored, she can once again manage her daily activities without discomfort.

Your support enabled her to live a comfortable life, and her entire family is deeply thankful for the kindness extended to them.
