From Fear to Healing: Ghana Patient’s Cancer Journey in Mumbai

Patient Name: Mr. Daniel Attah Tuffour

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Ghana

Doctor: Dr. Prashanth Rao 

Hospital Name: Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai

Treatment: Laparotomy

Daniel Attah Tuffour, from Ghana, was devastated when he was diagnosed with a retroperitoneal sarcoma, a rare abdominal cancer. Despite receiving treatment in Ghana, he realised the treatments were not working and his health was not improving. Daniel knew he needed a better solution to fight this disease.

His turning point came when he connected with a family friend, whose daughter had earlier received treatment in India with Vaidam Health. Encouraged by her positive experience, Daniel reached out to Vaidam Health. 

The Vaidam’s team patiently reviewed his reports and suggested Gleneagles Hospital in Mumbai, known for its experienced doctors and strong cancer care. The team also arranged his travel, coordinated hospital visits, and ensured smooth communication throughout the process. 

At Gleneagles Hospital, under the expert care of Dr. Prashanth Rao, Daniel underwent an exploratory laparotomy with the removal of the sarcoma. The surgery was a success. Within just 24 hours, his pain significantly reduced, and by the fourth day, he was recovering so well that he was ready for discharge.

Daniel stayed for 2 weeks in India and was deeply impressed by the hospital’s and Vaidam’s holistic care. 

Sharing his experience, He said, “When I realised my treatment in Ghana was not giving results, I was scared and uncertain. Choosing India and Gleneagles Hospital through Vaidam Health changed everything for me. Dr. Rao and his team provided me with excellent care, and within days, I began to feel better. The doctors, nurses, and staff treated me with kindness, and Vaidam guided me every step of the way. Today, I feel healthier and full of hope again.”

We at Vaidam Health are proud to have supported Daniel in his recovery journey and wish him a healthy future.
