Beniyas, a cute little boy from Ethiopia, was born with a cleft lip which is a congenital anomaly. His parents were worried about his condition and wanted to choose the best hospital for his treatment. They considered various options like Thailand and Turkey. They contacted Vaidam Health for assistance and finally decided to come to India.

They consulted Dr. (Maj Gen) Avtar Singh Bath, a Senior Consultant & Head of the Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Department at BLK Super Specialty Hospital, New Delhi. He advised a cleft lift surgery for him. Beniyas was also suffering from a common cold and was first treated by a pulmonologist before the surgery. The surgery was performed successfully, and the family is happy with the results.

Beniyas and his parents stayed in India for about one month. They were assisted throughout their medical journey. The team of Vaidam Health became a family for them, and they never felt like they were away from their home.

We wish Beniyas a healthy life ahead.
