Tell us about yourself

I am Elvas Jere from Malawi and I am 84 years old.

What brought you to India?

I was diagnosed with throat cancer a while back. My throat started getting swollen so much that I was not able to chew food. So, I decided to visit India to consult the best cancer doctor in India. While I was looking for the best doctors, I came across the website of Vaidam Health. I posted my query and soon got a call back from one of the case managers.

How did you choose the doctor and the hospital for your treatment?

Before coming to India, the case manager from Vaidam provided me with a list of some of the top hospitals in India, that have a great record in treating complex cases with a high success rate. They also gave me opinions and quotations from all the hospitals and helped me with the selection amongst them. I also searched for Dr. SC Pande on the internet and found great reviews about him. Shortly, I decided to visit Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon.

How did you get the visa and arrange your stay?

The team helped me get a Visa Invitation Letter and got my visa within a week. Also, a member of Vaidam showed me several options for my stay and I chose as per my preferences.

How did your treatment go?

Shortly, after my arrival in India, my appointment was fixed with the doctor.  He listened to me very patiently, noted all my medical history in detail and conducted the physical examination. After this, he ordered certain investigations to confirm the diagnosis. After the reports came back, he explained to me in detail about all my condition and told me what can be done. He put a stent inside my throat to create a passage for food. Now, at least I am able to eat well.
