From Patient to President: A Cancer Survivor’s Promise to Sindh
The personal story of Justajoo Foundation's founder — and how a cancer diagnosis became the engine of a foundation's medical-aid work.
Sadaf Raza Warraich does not tell her cancer story often. When she does, she tells it briefly, and almost always to make a different point: that recovery is not a private gift, and what arrives in a hospital corridor at the moment a diagnosis is delivered shapes everything that follows.
What arrived for her, she says, was kindness — from doctors, from family, from strangers who covered hospital bills and brought home-cooked food during chemotherapy. She does not always know who they were. She does know what she is going to do with the rest of her life.
The foundation as a return on care
Justajoo Foundation was incorporated in 2018, a few years after Sadaf’s recovery. The medical-aid program — free medicines, mobile health camps, surgical support for cancer and cardiac patients — is the part of the foundation’s work that she watches most closely. It is also the part that draws the most personal donors: people who themselves have walked a cancer corridor and know what it costs.
“In Pakistan,” she said in one interview, “a medical diagnosis can decide a whole family’s future. We do not change the diagnosis. We try to change what comes after it.”
A career built around the same question
Outside the foundation, Sadaf serves as Charter President of Rotary Club Hyderabad Justajoo, Founder President of the Women Chamber of Commerce & Industry Mirpurkhas Division, Senior Vice President of WCCI Hyderabad, and CEO of HM Standard Trading (Pvt) Ltd. Each role is, in its own way, an answer to the same question — what do you do, after you have been given more time than you expected?
What we owe the next patient
The foundation’s medical-aid work runs year-round, but expands during emergencies — particularly the seasonal floods in interior Sindh, when chronic patients lose access to medication for weeks at a time. Your gift to our medical fund pays for the medicines, the petrol that takes the doctor to the village, and the small dignities of recovery: clean water, a hot meal, a ride home.
