Noor Bakht Has Regained Her Mobility After Hip Surgery

Noor Bakht's Story

Noor Bakht, a 73-year-old woman from Lahore, experienced constant pain in both of her hip joints. Walking across a room, climbing a single step, or getting out of bed in the morning became nearly impossible for her. Each movement was accompanied by discomfort, forcing her into a life of dependence on her family members. Worried about her deteriorating health, her family took her to a local hospital where doctors performed X-rays and related tests. After undergoing a detailed evaluation, she was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis of both hip joints. This left her bones rubbing against each other, causing unbearable pain. Among both hips, her left hip joint was more severely affected. To relieve her suffering and restore her mobility, the doctor recommended a Left Total Hip Replacement (THR).

While the surgery was essential, Noor’s family was unable to afford the surgical cost. She lives with her daughter and son-in-law in a small home in Lahore. Her son-in-law works as a security guard and earns just PKR 35,000 per month. With his modest income, he struggles to manage household expenses, leaving no possibility of affording the surgery. Desperate for a solution, the family reached out to Transparent Hands. Moved by her plea, we registered her case.

On July 15, 2025, Noor Bakht was admitted to the Pakistan Society for Rehabilitation of Differently Abled (PSRD) in Lahore. Her left-sided Total Hip Replacement was successfully performed by Dr. Saleem Bashir on July 16, 2025. The surgery went smoothly, and she received post-operative care. She was discharged in good health on July 18, 2025.

Noor Bakht described her happiness as follows:
“I am truly thankful to you for making my surgery possible. For years, I lived in constant pain and could not move without help. After the surgery, I feel like a new person. Your support has brought comfort back into my life.”

After her successful surgery, Noor Bakht’s life has changed remarkably. She can now walk and carry out her daily tasks with ease. She and her family are grateful to you for bringing her relief and restoring her mobility.
