Edward Rokulegodo, who belongs to Nigeria, has a history of prostate cancer. Therefore, he wanted to have a thorough health checkup for which he decided to visit India. When he came to know about Vaidam Health during his search for the best doctors, he posted a query and soon received a call back from one of the case managers.

The case manager, Aditi Sabharwal provided him with some profiles of the top doctors in India. After going through those profiles, Mr. Edward finally decided to visit Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon. The team collectively assisted the family in getting the Visa Invitation Letter from the hospital and also in the application of the visa. They received the visa within 72 hours of its application and the tickets were booked. The Vaidam team also arranged their hotel and airport pickup prior to their arrival.

Soon after their arrival, Edward’s appointment was booked for a health checkup. During the checkup, it was found that he had some abnormalities in the spine for which he may need surgery. Hence, he was referred to Dr. Hitesh Garg, one is an eminent spine specialist in the hospital. Dr. Hitesh evaluated him meticulously and sent him for further investigations such as MRI spine. After the reports came back, it was confirmed that he needed the surgery.
