Kulsoom, a 50-year-old housewife, had beed experiencing symptoms like excessive thirst and fatigue for about a year. Despite the seriousness of her condition, she assumed it was just a normal part of growing old and continued to look after her home and family.
Kulsoom's brother finally realized that there was something seriously wrong, and urged her to seek medical help. She visited the SHINE Humanity clinic and saw a qualified doctor, who advised her to undergo a series of tests, eventually diagnosing her with diabetes. She was prescribed medicines to better manage her symptoms, along with certain changes in diet and lifestyle.
Over time her symptoms improved tremendously, for which Kulsoom is very thankful. She now regularly visits the clinic for follow-up appointments. She owes her renewed health to the appropriate and timely care provided by the doctors and states that the clinic has proven to be extremely efficient and accessible.
Routine checks for diabetic patients are very important to reduce the risk of complications like heart problems and amputations. SHINE Humanity is grateful for the support of our generous donors, without whom creating accessible and cost-friendly primary healthcare clinics would not be possible.
