Muhammad Sani from Nigeria Receives Radiation Therapy in India In Order to Get Complete Recovery from Prostate Cancer

By Bipasha Mitra
Medical treatments in India have never disappointed me

An early detection of cancer broadens the possibilities of removing and curing it surgically irrespective of the organ or gland it has affected in the body. But depending on the condition of the patient, radiation therapy or chemotherapy becomes a part of the treatment procedure post surgery. Having gone under the knife for the treatment of prostate cancer 2 years ago, Muhammad Sani from Nigeria was in need of a radiation therapy to complete his treatment regime.

“I came to India in 2015 for the surgery. Back then, I was advised by the doctors to also undergo a radiation therapy so that any residual cancerous cell in the prostate gland can be destroyed. Cancer is something which you would not want to be recurred. Although enough time has passed since my last treatment, I planned to undergo the therapy and looked online for the best radiation oncologist in India”, said Sani.

Accompanied by his son, Sani arrived in New Delhi and went to BLK Super Specialty Hospital. “Dr. S Hukku administered my radiation therapy sessions at the hospital. BLK Hospital does incorporate a very advanced medical infrastructure coupled with expert doctors and excellent patient care team. Dr. Hukku is very professional and is someone who has complete and in-depth knowledge of his trade. India has never disappointed me; my medical treatments have always been successful here and I am happy to have found one of the best hospitals in the country for my treatment through the dedicated assistance of Vaidam Health”, said he.

During his online search, Muhammad Sani came across Vaidam Health’s website and enquired. “Immediately after my query, I received a call from the team. After a detailed conversation regarding my condition, they assisted me with quotes from some of the best cancer hospital in India and helped me with visa application and accommodation. So, before even booking my flight tickets I had complete knowledge about the hospital, the doctor, the cost of the treatment and every other nuance regarding my medical trip to India. I was duly received at the airport and was in touch with the team throughout. Vaidam’s team is very efficient, prompt and organized. It is because of them that my medical trip has been so hassle free. I thank them heartily for the constant support and guidance and wish them all the luck”, smiled Sani.
