Imagine having health issues for over a year, unsure of what's causing your symptoms—frustrating, isn't it? Ms. Merian, a 56-year-old from Vanuatu, experienced the same. Initially attributing her symptoms to gastric problems, she faced health issues, such as abdominal pain and constipation.

Bothered by this long-time issue, she decided to go to Australia in search of a good treatment, but the doctors there couldn't diagnose her properly.

She was frustrated and discussed her health issues with her friend. Her friend suggested contacting Vaidam Health, who could help her get relief from the ongoing health issue. In the hope of getting a positive result, she contacted our representative, who connected Ms. Merian with one of our case managers, who advised her to come to India.

Reflecting on her journey, Ms. Merian shared, "I was ill for almost a year, and when I heard about Vaidam, I decided to engage myself with Vaidam Health. So, this is when I got to know more about the health facilities in India."

She came to India and consulted Dr. Rajesh Puri, a Surgical Gastroenterologist with over 24 years of experience.

After some evaluation tests, it was diagnosed that Ms. Merian was suffering from Fibromyalgia (widespread muscle pain and tenderness, accompanied by fatigue, & sleep problems).

Dr. Rajesh Puri suggested that the best possible treatment for her condition would be to seek acupuncture to stimulate her central nervous system.

Ms. Merian agreed and started an acupuncture program at Medanta Hospital, Gurgaon. Meanwhile, she also engaged in natural therapies, including diet, exercise, and meditation, to manage her symptoms.

She was pleased with the doctor's care and is hopeful that she will recover soon. Her 2-month stay in India left her feeling grateful, and she expressed her thankfulness, saying, "I'm so happy to choose Vaidam Health for assistance. They helped me get to India, and it's really worth coming to India."

Our profound wishes are with Merian; may she get back to her healthy and usual self!
