Elizabeth from Ghana Visited India for Brain Tumor Surgery

7 years old Elizabeth Agyemang, from Ghana, was suffering from a brain tumor. The medical symptoms included pain and discomfort, occasional seizures, and vomiting. Her father was searching the internet for a health consultant when he came across MediGence. He also found MediGence's health plans to be fairly comprehensive and reasonably priced. He submitted a question on their website, and a MediGence representative responded shortly, requesting that he offer more information. Following the submission of the requested information, MediGence contacted the patient's father to learn more about her health concerns.

He then emailed them information on Elizabeth's case as well as medical reports. He was planning a trip to India for his daughter's evaluation and treatment. He was given a list of the best doctors and hospitals in India by the patient advisory team. The patient's father chose to consult with Dr. Aditya Gupta at Artemis Hospital, Gurugram, India. Dr. Aditya Gupta is a skilled neurosurgeon who graduated with honors from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi.

Dr. Aditya Gupta not only has superb surgical techniques for many kinds of brain tumors, with a focus on microsurgery and radiosurgery, but he is especially skilled in managing patients with Movement Disorders with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), Epilepsy Surgery, Nerve, and Brachial Plexus Surgery, Brain aneurysms, and AVMs. He also specializes in all types of spine surgery. Artemis Hospital is a super-specialty hospital in Gurgaon, Delhi, that was founded in 2007. It is Gurgaon's first JCI and NABH-accredited hospital. The hospital excels in cardiology, neurology, neurosurgery, cancer, orthopedics, and emergency treatment, in addition to having state-of-the-art infrastructure.

Pre-treatment and Process

The visa invite from the chosen hospital was facilitated by a MediGence patient manager. The visa was applied for and received in a short time. The patient's father chose the hotel recommended by MediGence according to his budget. Elizabeth and her father arrived in India on 22 November 2021. They were received at the airport by the MediGence Team and all accommodation arrangements were done by the team. The assigned case manager ensured that the patient was provided with the best facilities at the hotel. MediGence took the patient to the hospital for consultation with Dr. Aditya Gupta.

The appointment with the doctor was pre-booked. On the first day of their arrival, Elizabeth with her father met the specialist and the medical team. All of the necessary tests were performed on the patient. This allowed the doctors to have a better understanding of the situation and, as a result, devise the appropriate treatment strategy. The doctor attentively examined the test results and determined that the procedure could proceed. Elizabeth was admitted in the hospital for four days and stayed for two weeks in the country (advised by doctor). Elizabeth had a pleasant treatment experience thanks to the great care provided by the hospital staff, regular monitoring, and improved care.

Post-treatment

Elizabeth's father was given a variety of lodging options from which to choose based on his budget. MediGence made sure the patient got the finest treatment possible by organizing everything from hospital transfers to airport pick-ups to doctor appointments. The patient's father stated that he and his family were pleased with the doctor and the hospital's services. He expressed his gratitude to the specialist and team for the guidance he received during Elizabethâ€™s checkup. He expressed gratitude to MediGence for providing exceptional help at every stage of her treatment, from selecting the finest doctor and facility to obtaining a visa and scheduling appointments.
