Living with scoliosis is difficult due to the striking physical strain that has a tremendous impact on daily life. For Mr. Zelalem Getnet, an Ethiopian, the journey to a healthier life commenced when he encountered Vaidam Health while attending a medical camp.

Following a painful experience with scoliosis, which was diagnosed in his native land, Mr. Getnet searched for medical care from experts. He reached out to us, and there a specific case manager assisted him in each step of the process, from choosing the appropriate hospital and consulting with Dr. Garg to organising his trip and stay.

Mr. Getnet came to India with his brother and was admitted to Artemis Hospital, where he met with Dr. Hitesh Garg, an expert spine surgeon. After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Garg recommended scoliosis surgery to correct the spinal curvature.

The operation was carried out without complications, and an extremely good recovery was obtained. After the procedure, Mr. Getnet spent approximately 20 days in India receiving specialised post-operative care.

His health steadily improved, and he was discharged with an individualised medication plan to support his continued recovery.

During the course of the treatment, Mr. Getnet appreciated the seamless coordination between Vaidam and Artemis Hospital. 

Mr. Getnet also expressed deep thanks to Dr. Hitesh Garg, Artemis Hospital, and Vaidam Health: The professional and compassionate care he received made his experience in India comfortable and stress-free."I am very happy with Vaidam and its services.”Wishing him continued health and well-being. We hope he's now embracing the opportunities he once missed and wishing him continued well-being.
