For nearly 8 to 10 years, Mr. A K M Anisur Rahman Tutul from Bangladesh had been struggling with severe neck pain, difficulty in walking, and tingling sensations in his fingers. Over time, these symptoms began to affect his mobility and daily routine, making even simple activities difficult.

Along with his spine-related condition, Mr. Tutul was also managing COPD and had a history of chain smoking, which added complications to his health. Looking for advanced treatment options, he searched online for specialised spine care and connected with Vaidam Health.

After reviewing his medical reports, the Vaidam team connected him with Dr. Hitesh Garg at Artemis Hospital in Gurugram. From the beginning of the journey, Vaidam assisted the family with medical coordination, hospital appointments, travel guidance, accommodation, food arrangements, airport assistance, and overall treatment planning, helping make their medical journey smooth and organised.

During the consultation, Dr. Hitesh Garg carefully evaluated Mr. Tutul’s condition and diagnosed cervical nerve compression at the C5–C6 level. Considering the severity of the symptoms, the doctor advised Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion Surgery (ACDF) to relieve pressure on the nerves and improve his mobility.

Before surgery, the patient faced some challenges in receiving anaesthesia clearance due to his respiratory condition and smoking history. However, after proper evaluation and medical clearance, the surgery was successfully performed.

Following the ACDF surgery, Mr. Tutul recovered very well and showed significant improvement in his symptoms. His neck pain reduced considerably, walking became easier, and the tingling sensation in his fingers improved during recovery.

During the treatment course, he also consulted an ENT specialist and a pulmonologist, who advised him to continue lifelong medication and respiratory care management for his lung condition.

Mr. Tutul stayed in India for nearly three weeks along with his wife and son while completing surgery, recovery, and follow-up consultations.

Sharing their experience, the family said:

“We are very thankful to Vaidam for supporting us throughout this treatment journey. From connecting us with the right doctor to helping with visa, hospital coordination, accommodation, food, and regular guidance, everything was managed smoothly. Dr. Hitesh Garg and the medical team took excellent care of us, and we are happy to see such good improvement after surgery.”

Today, Mr. Tutul is recovering well and moving more comfortably after surgery. His journey reflects how timely spine treatment and organised medical travel support can help international patients receive quality care in India.

Vaidam wishes Mr. A K M Anisur Rahman Tutul continued good health, strength, and a smooth recovery ahead.
