Check out the Full Video Here:

According to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, the prevalence of autism in Uganda is around 88 people per 10,000 individuals. It translates to roughly 880,000 people in a population of 10 million (based on an estimated 2024 population).

Kinaawda, a 6-year-old from Uganda, was suffering from mild Autism. Her mother, being worried about him, decided to get treatment outside her home country.

She searched online, hoping to find a reliable option, and came across our website. As she submitted a query, we assigned her a case manager, who helped both get a medical visa, accommodation, and the best doctor.

Both mother and son came to India and consulted Dr. Alok Sharma, a Neurosurgeon with over 27 years of experience.

Upon evaluation of the son's report, the doctor suggested that he get a Stem Cell Transplant. The procedure was successfully performed at Neurogen Brain and Spine Institute, Mumbai.

They stayed in India for almost 10 days and happily returned to their home country.

Warmest wishes to Kinaawda for a life filled with happiness and joy!
