Restoring Mobility Through Advanced Knee Replacement Care in India

Mr Babiker, a 78-year-old Sudanese man, has been experiencing excruciating knee discomfort that progressively reduced his range of motion. Regular activities such as standing, climbing stairs, or even short walks became very challenging due to persistent soreness, stiffness, swelling, and increasing difficulty walking. His mobility decreased as the pain got greater, which had an impact on his confidence and general quality of life.

Mr Babiker began exploring reliable overseas medical options to restore comfort and mobility after realising that specialised treatment was necessary for long-term relief. On August 19, 2025, he approached MediGence seeking expert advice and a reliable pathway to efficient orthopedic care.

Finding the Right Destination with Expert Guidance

Mr Babiker's case was sent to Arhama, a committed MediGence Patient Advisor. She carefully reviewed his symptoms, age-related concerns, and treatment expectations. Given its internationally recognised orthopedic expertise and exceptional success rates, India was suggested as the best location for joint replacement surgery based on her examination and his medical conditions.

Mr Babiker selected Artemis Hospital, renowned for cutting-edge orthopedic care. Dr Ramkinkar Jha, a skilled orthopedic surgeon, organised his care and recommended bilateral total knee replacements (TKRs) as the best way to reduce pain and regain mobility.

A Well-Coordinated Medical Travel Experience

MediGence ensured Mr Babiker's trip was easy and stress-free by understanding the challenges of travelling abroad at an older age. The group supplied:

Visa assistance, streamlining the travel process
Arranged transportation to and from the airport, guaranteeing security and comfort

These services allowed Mr Babiker and his family to focus entirely on treatment and recovery without worrying about logistics.

Treatment and Recovery in India

Mr Babiker travelled to India on October 8, 2025, spending a total of 20 days in the country, including 6 days in the hospital. At Artemis Hospital, the bilateral knee replacement was successfully completed under the expert supervision of Dr Ramkinkar Jha and the orthopedic team.

With thorough post-operative care and ongoing medical monitoring, Mr Babiker made a safe and steady recovery.

Patient Review: A Journey of Care and Compassion

Reflecting on his experience, Mr Babiker shared his heartfelt gratitude for the support he received throughout his medical journey:

"I am Babiker Hassan from Sudan. I had been suffering from knee problems for more than two years. My son, a medical doctor, and I were seeking a reputable hospital for quality care.

Finally, we learned about MediGence. They arranged everything for my treatment in India. Mr M. Shoaib met my wife and me at the airport, and from that moment, we were well looked after until our treatment in India was completed.

The services were excellent. Shoaib from MediGence provided us with accommodation at the hospital and personally assisted us throughout. I am extremely pleased with the services of MediGence and especially thankful to Arhama, who kept calling me regularly to check on my health and needs during my stay in India.

Thank you, MediGence."
