Patient from Vanuatu Undergoes Successful Face Tumour Surgery in India with Support from Vaidam Health

Patient Name: Mr. John Beneth Aru

Age: 56

Gender: Male

Country: Vanuatu

Doctor: Dr. Pradeep Kumar

Hospital: Artemis Hospital, Gurugram

Treatment: Maxillary Tumour Removal and Partial Face Reconstruction Surgery

John Beneth Aru, a 56-year-old from Vanuatu, noticed a minor lump forming on his lip. At first, he wasn't concerned, but when it began to swell, the worry settled in. His daughter-in-law, Lumi, decided to seek medical treatment abroad and started researching treatment options available abroad.

While looking for the best treatment options, Lumi spoke to a friend who had used Vaidam Health before and highly recommended them. Curious and hopeful, she reached out to the Vaidam team. After understanding her case, Vaidam quickly helped with getting medical visas, booking doctor appointments, and planning their travel. Lumi felt relieved knowing that all the essential arrangements were being taken care of,  allowing her to focus entirely on her father-in-law's health.

When they arrived in India, John was admitted to Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, where he was appointed to Dr. Pradeep Kumar, a skilled senior oncologist. After examining John's condition, the doctors confirmed that he had a maxillary tumour. Because the case was complex, two specialised teams worked together, one from Onco-Surgery and the other from Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. They carried out a significant procedure to remove the tumour and reconstruct part of John's face.

The initial days following surgery were challenging because of John's severe condition. But with the help of Artemis Hospital's excellent medical care and careful observation, he started to get better gradually. He eventually regained his strength and reacted favourably to treatment. He is now taking medicine and is recovering nicely.

The hospital's advanced facilities and services pleased Lumi, so she also took advantage of the opportunity to undergo a full-body checkup while they were there. Sharing her experience, Lumi stated:

"I am delighted. Thank you, Vaidam, for the assistance and services you provided me in this treatment journey. I truly appreciate the team's support throughout our time in India. Thank you so much!"

Vaidam Health is honoured to have played a part in Mr. John’s road to recovery. We praise Lumi for her concern and commitment to her family and wish him a long and healthy life.
