Mr. Chiamaka Underwent Radiation therapy and Chemotherapy

Chiamaka Ufuoma, 41, from Nigeria, was suffering from Oropharyngeal Cancer, which was diagnosed in Nigeria. The symptoms included sore throat and difficulty in eating. He took a few chemotherapy sessions in Nigeria but was not satisfied with the treatment. He decided to travel to India for further treatment.

Chiamaka Ufuoma was looking for a reputed oncologist for consultation and treatment. He stumbled upon MediGence, a global medical travel network while searching for doctors on the Internet. He emailed MediGence with a question. The case manager contacted him and requested all of his papers; after reviewing all of the documentation, he was given a list of the best hospitals and doctors. Chiamaka decided upon Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, India, to see Dr. Priya Tiwari (Medical Oncologist) and Dr. Subodh Chandra Pande (Radiation Oncologist).

Pre-treatment and process

After arriving at the hospital, the patient's medical records were reviewed by the specialists. The patient's pre-treatment testing started the day of his arrival. The doctors suggested a few tests, and after reviewing the results, they recommended radiation therapy along with chemotherapy. The MediGence team supported the patient in every way during the course of the treatment.

Post-treatment

He gradually began to heal after treatment. He stayed in the country for 50 days and was able to complete his rehabilitation. The MediGence team coordinated with the hospital and specialists for every aspect of the treatment. There were no complications throughout the procedure. It was a day-care procedure, and the patient did not get admitted to the hospital.
