Country of Origin: Ethiopia

Doctor Name: Dr. Shubham Garg

Hospital Name: ⁠Fortis Hospital Noida

Treatment: Thyroidectomy

The prevalence of thyroid cancer is about three times more often in women than in men. While women are significantly more likely to develop thyroid cancer, men can certainly get it as well.

Unfortunately, Mr. Getesh Sime Wako, a 46-year-old Ethiopian National, was diagnosed with this medical condition and has been suffering for the last 8 months.

In the hope of finding reliable and affordable treatment, he started looking online and came across our website. As he posted a query on our website, we swiftly responded and contacted him.

After discussing with our case manager, Mr. Getesh came to India with his friend. One of our coordinators was always there to assist them as per their needs.

He consulted Dr. Shubham Garg, a Surgical Oncologist with more than 12 years of experience. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Garg suggested he get a Thyroidectomy to remove part of the thyroid gland.

The surgery started with a robotic one, but the surgeons noticed that one thyroid was attached to a muscle, so they finished it with open surgery.

The surgery was successfully carried out at Fortis Hospital, Noida. The patient was discharged in good condition and stayed in India for over a month.

Doctors told them to come back after one month for a follow-up appointment, including the PET-CT scan.

We wish him a smooth and swift recovery!
