Rafaqat Bibi Underwent Cholecystectomy

Rafaqat Bibi's Story

Rafaqat Bibi, a 55-year-old woman from Lahore, had been experiencing persistent abdominal pain, nausea, and digestive issues for six months. Daily tasks had become nearly impossible, and her condition was deeply affecting her emotional well-being. After suffering for a while, she decided to consult a specialist, who ran lab tests and an ultrasound scan and diagnosed Rafaqat with symptomatic gallstones. The doctor strongly recommended an open cholecystectomy to relieve her symptoms and prevent complications. However, the surgical cost was overwhelming for Rafaqat’s family.

Rafaqat’s family faced severe financial difficulties. She lived in a small rented house along with her five children. Rafaqat worked as a housemaid and made approximately PKR 25000 per month. Her sons worked as daily wage laborers, but the family’s monthly income was insignificant to manage the household expenses. Rafaqat’s surgical expenses were way more than their monthly income and they simply couldn’t afford to pay for her surgery. Unable to see her suffering, her family reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us to register her case. The generosity of our donors enabled us to arrange surgery for Rafaqat at a reputable hospital on our panel.

On 12th November 2024, Rafaqat was admitted to the Lahore Care Hospital. Her surgery was successfully performed by Dr. Ahmed Fawad. After a thorough post-operative recovery process, including essential medications and care, she was discharged in stable condition on 14th November 2024.

Rafaqat was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. Sharing her thoughts, she said:

“For months, I lived with unbearable pain. I thought I would never be able to feel normal again. But you gave me a new chance at life. I can now move without pain, and I feel like a new person. Thank you for giving me hope and health.”

Rafaqat’s surgery has changed her quality of life. She is now able to perform her daily tasks without discomfort, and her family no longer worries about her health. Your kindness has brought back her health and happiness. She extends her deepest gratitude to you for supporting her surgery.
