Imagine living with a disease whose exact cause remains unknown—Endomyocardial Fibrosis, a condition prevalent in North America and endemic areas of Africa, is a significant cause of heart disease.
Several factors contribute to endomyocardial fibrosis, including pathogens, environmental exposures, immune system responses, and genetic influences. Medication and surgery are the only options for controlling this disease.
Vaidam encountered a similar case with Mr. George from Kenya, who was experiencing discomfort in his heart, tiredness, pain, and vomiting. He was initially diagnosed with Ebstein Anomaly, a form of congenital heart disease. However, due to its differential diagnosis possibility, he decided to undergo an evaluation.
Mr. George began searching online for top medical tourism companies and found Vaidam. After exploring the website and reading reviews, he submitted a query.
His query was instantly assigned to one of the case managers, who suggested that he come to India and consult some of the top heart surgeons. We made all arrangements for him, including a medical visa, doctor appointment, accommodation, and follow-ups.
Mr. George came to India with his friend and consulted Dr. Ashish Katewa, a Heart Surgeon with over 15 years of experience. He performed a detailed evaluation, which included:
- Cardiac MRI
- Chest CT Scan
- Pulmonary Angiogram
- Lower Limb Scan
- Six Blood Tests
After the successful evaluation of the reports, the doctor concluded that he needed a heart transplant, but not immediately. He suggested a 1-year course of medication to Mr. George to manage his condition.
He stayed in India for 20 days and was very happy with the exceptional services we provided. He then returned to Kenya and expressed his gratitude, saying, "I think it's best if you come here, you choose Vaidam, and they will be able to help you in a better way. I'm sure you'll be quite impressed. For me, I can say I've had a very amazing time. They've really been able to help me in the best way possible.
Mr. George also said, "They made my stay here comfortable, and my treatment has gone well. I'm quite happy. So, basically, that is all I'd like to say. I think the good Vaidam team, the three guys who were with me, really impressed me, and I'd like to thank them."
Our heartfelt wishes go out to Mr. George, and we hope for his swift recovery and improved health!
