Azmat Hussain, a 20-year-old suffering from aplastic anaemia, faced a life- threatening blood disorder that prevented his body from producing blood cells and platelets due to damaged stem cells in his bone marrow. This condition led to a weakened immune system, a lack of red blood cells, and various complications. Azmat was diagnosed when he exhibited symptoms of weakness, fever, and skin haemorrhages.
He was immediately admitted to the hospital, where a detailed examination confirmed his condition. Upon diagnosis, Azmat was prescribed a year-long medication regimen to treat his illness. This news left his family devastated and overwhelmed with worry due to their financial constraints. Azmat’s father, a hand embroiderer, earned a modest salary that was barely sufficient to provide two square meals a day for his family.
Thanks to the funding provided through the medical aid programme, Azmat was able to receive the necessary treatment. This support alleviated the financial burden on his family and enabled Azmat to live a more fulfilling life. The assistance not only addressed his medical needs but also brought hope and stability to a family in distress.
