Vaidam Health and CARE Hospitals Organise Orthopaedic & Spine OPD Camp in Liberia

Access to specialised orthopaedic and spine care remains limited in Liberia, where many patients continue to struggle with chronic joint pain, arthritis, spine disorders, and sports injuries. To support the growing need for expert musculoskeletal care in West Africa, Vaidam Health, in collaboration with CARE Hospitals, India, conducted a two-day Orthopaedic & Spine OPD Camp in Monrovia.

The consultation camp was held on 1st and 2nd December 2025 at Adventist Cooper Hospital, Sinkor, providing patients in Liberia an opportunity to meet a senior Indian specialist, Dr. Chandhan M, Orthopaedic & Spine Surgeon at CARE Hospitals.

About the Specialist – Dr. Chandhan M

Dr. Chandhan M is a highly skilled Orthopaedic & Spine Surgeon known for his expertise in treating complex bone, joint, and spinal conditions. His areas of specialisation include:

• Knee & Hip Arthritis
• ACL & Ligament Injuries
• Sports Injuries
• Slip Disc & Sciatica
• Degenerative Spine Disorders
• Spinal Deformities
• Spine Fractures
• Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Patients visited the camp with concerns ranging from long-standing back pain to mobility issues and sports-related injuries. Dr. Chandhan’s clear explanations and patient-focused consultation style were widely appreciated.

Strong Patient Response in Monrovia

The camp witnessed an encouraging turnout, with dozens of patients arriving with medical reports, X-rays, and MRI scans seeking second opinions and clarity regarding treatment or surgery.

The Vaidam Health team supported the event with registration, coordination, and translation assistance, ensuring a smooth experience for all attendees.

Many patients left the camp feeling reassured, informed, and confident in their ability to manage their orthopaedic or spine conditions.

Why This Camp Was Important for Liberia

With rising orthopaedic and spine issues across West Africa, early diagnosis and expert guidance play a vital role in preventing disability and improving quality of life. The OPD camp helped patients:

• Understand treatment and surgical options
• Get a second opinion from an experienced Indian surgeon
• Learn about the minimally invasive surgical option
• Plan further treatment in India if required

For many, this was their first interaction with an international orthopaedic specialist.

A Step Forward in Accessible Orthopaedic & Spine Care

The two-day orthopaedic and spine OPD camp in Monrovia reflects Vaidam Health’s mission to deliver trusted, high-quality medical guidance to communities that need it the most.

With the joint efforts of Vaidam Health, CARE Hospitals, and Adventist Cooper Hospital, the camp provided knowledge, support, and hope to many individuals dealing with long-term joint and spine problems.

For several attendees, this OPD consultation marked the beginning of a more confident, informed, and hopeful journey toward better mobility and pain-free living.
