Patient from Sierra Leone Recovers After Femur Surgery in India

Patient Name: Mr. James Kai Kpewa 

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Sierra Leone

Doctor: Dr. Ramkinkar Jha

Hospital Name: Artemis Hospital, Gurugram

Treatment: Debridement Surgery with External Fixator

When James Kai Kpewa from Sierra Leone suffered an accident, his life changed drastically. His left thigh bone (femur) was fractured, and later, an infection made his condition even worse. He tried to get treatment in his home country, but without the right expertise, his recovery was slow and painful. Day by day, walking became harder, and James started looking for treatment abroad.

While searching for better options, James came across Vaidam Health online. He decided to reach out, and the team quickly guided him through the process. They reviewed his medical history, suggested the right hospital, and arranged everything from medical visa to hospital visits, so he could focus only on healing.

James chose Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, where he met Dr. Ramkinkar Jha, a senior orthopaedic surgeon. After detailed tests, the doctor explained that James needed debridement (to clean the infected bone) and an external fixator to stabilise his leg.  He underwent surgery, and successfully & his pain reduced significantly. Within a few days, he was able to move more comfortably.

James stayed in India for 2 weeks. Sharing his experience, he said, “After living with a painful fracture for a long time, I came to India for treatment. At Artemis Hospital, Dr. Ramkinkar and his team treated me with such care that within days, I felt better. I thank Vaidam Health for supporting me throughout, making my journey smooth.”

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