Watch how Idrissa could walk in just two days post surgery:

Idrissa Jumbe Mkilla from Tanzania had been suffering from spine problem for over a decade. Till now he had coped with his back pain with the help of local physiotherapists. But with time his pain aggravated beyond tolerance and he soon sought for medical treatments.

 

Since when are you suffering from back ache? 

I suffered from severe back pain since 2006. I took the aid of physiotherapy but the pain just kept increasing. I couldn’t even walk or sit properly. The pain gradually spread from my lower back to my right leg. I didn’t have any idea why this happened and started looking for medical treatment.

 

Where did you have your treatment in India?

I had my treatment at Jaypee Hospital in Noida, New Delhi under Dr. Saurabh Rawall.

 

How did your treatment go at Jaypee Hospital?

The treatment was excellent. According to the suggestions of the doctor I had undergone a spinal decompression surgery at the hospital. It is amazing because I who couldn’t even walk or sit for the past couple of years could do so after only two days of my surgery. Dr. Rawall has given me the best treatment. I feel so happy that now I can go on with my daily works easily.

 

 

How did you decide to have your treatment in India?

When I was looking for treatments in the internet, I came across the website of Vaidam Health. I went through their website and had sent an enquiry.

 

Did you like Vaidam Health’s services?

I highly appreciate Vaidam Health for what they have done for me. Immediately after I had sent my enquiry, the patient manager from Vaidam called. She helped me a lot in finding the right doctor and hospital for my treatment. She even thoroughly guided me in applying for a medical visa to India. After I arrived in India, Vaidam's on-ground assitance partner Al-Shifa was at the airport waiting for me. The team from Alshifa accompanied me to the hospital during my treatment.  I thank Vaidam and Alshifa for their services. They are doing a great job.
