For almost 6 years, Mahmood Nasir had been living with debilitating knee pain. Despite visiting multiple hospitals, the diagnosis was always the same: he needed an operation. But the cost was prohibitively expensive – a staggering PKR 2 million. Mahmood had almost lost hope when a friend told him about Indus Hospital & Health Network (IHHN) and Project GODA, a team of orthopaedic surgeons from the US who provide free implants and surgery to those in need.
Relieved from the stressful burden, Mahmood underwent surgery with Team GODA and essentially received brand new knees. The results were nothing short of miraculous. Soon after the operation, he was able to walk, use the washroom, and even do minor exercises.
Mahmood was overjoyed with his new lease on life. “I’m so happy with the treatment I received,” he said. “Everything was free of cost, and the staff cared for me like family. The hospital is spotless, and I’ve never seen better care anywhere.”
Mahmood is particularly grateful for the importance placed on physical therapy and rehabilitation at IHHN. “The doctors and therapists helped me regain my strength and mobility,” he says. “I was able to walk and move around soon after the operation.”
The impact of Project GODA’s free-of-cost orthopaedic surgery left a mark on Mahmood’s heart. “I’m so grateful to everyone who made my treatment possible,” he says. “No money is wasted here. It’s invested in qualified people who truly care about their patients.”
Mahmood’s story is a testament to the transformative power of quality healthcare. Thanks to IHHN, Project GODA, and the generosity of donors, Mahmood can now live a life free from debilitating pain and disability.
