Introduction

Barnali Aktar, a 42-year-old Bangladeshi woman, had a brain tumor. Medical signs included nausea, sporadic convulsions, seizures, dizziness, weakness, and pain and discomfort. When looking for a health consultant online, her husband stumbled across MediGence. Additionally, he thought MediGence’s health insurance was reasonably priced and fairly comprehensive. He asked an inquiry on their website, and soon after, a MediGence employee contacted him and asked for more details. After receiving the needed data, MediGence got in touch with the patient’s father to find out more about her health issues. Then he sent them emails with details on Barnali’s case and medical records.

In order to assess and treat his wife, he was organizing a trip to India. The patient advisory panel gave him a list of the top physicians and medical facilities in India. Dr. Hrishikesh Sarkar of the Madras Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology (MIOT) in Chennai, India, was the doctor the patient’s husband selected to see.
