Nigerian Patient Finds Gastro Cure With Vaidam’s Support


Patient Name: Ms. Balkisu Mohammed

Age: 43

Gender: Female

Country of Origin: Nigeria

Doctor Name: Dr. Arvind Khurana

Hospital Name: Fortis Hospital Gurgaon

Treatment: GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) Treatment

Check out the Full Video Here:

GERD, or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, is a common condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, leading to symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain. This disease can cause discomfort and, if left untreated, may lead to more severe complications.

Balkisu Mohammed, a 43-year-old woman from Nigeria, was one of the many individuals struggling with the discomfort of GERD. After experiencing persistent symptoms and being devastated, she thought of looking for a reliable option for her treatment.

She started searching online for treatment options and found out about us. She dropped a query following her reports. We responded to her quickly and assigned her a case manager, who assisted her and suggested she come to India and consult some of the best gastroenterologists in India for her case.

She decided to come to India with her two sisters as her companions. She was surprised at how we were able to arrange everything for her, from a medical visa to accommodation.

After arriving in India, her appointments were scheduled with Dr. Arvind Khurana, a very respected Medical Gastroenterologist with over 39 years of experience.

A thorough investigation revealed her condition could be managed without surgery. The doctor prescribed medication and advised avoiding fatty foods, alcohol, chocolate, caffeine, and peppermint.

She was also recommended to eat small, frequent meals, chew slowly, and include high-fiber foods like whole grains and green vegetables.

Ms. Balkisu was delighted with our services and the doctor’s expertise. She expressed her gratitude, saying, “I met Dr. Khurana at Fortis Hospital. He treated me well. He's an expert, and I can now say that I am much better than when I came to India from Nigeria. I am now fit to go back to my country. Thank you so much!”

We wish her a speedy recovery and assure her of our support for any health concerns after returning to her home country.
