Ms. Saleh Underwent BMT in BLK MAX Hospital, India

Hafsat Ibrahim Saleh, a 25-year-old from Nigeria was suffering from sickle cell disease. The medical symptoms included episodes of pain (pain crises), anaemia, unexplained numbness, tiredness and fatigue. Hafsat opted to travel to India for the surgery with her sister and mother. On the internet, she looked for a health consultant and came upon MediGence. She put a request on their website for a decent doctor to talk to about his situation.

She received a call from one of MediGence's case managers, who wanted to know more about Hafsat's health. The case manager requested that she give all of her personal information as well as medical records. Following receipt of the findings, MediGence conducted a full review of her medical history and presented her with a number of treatment alternatives in India. The patient and her family chose BLK-MAX Hospital in Delhi, which is one of India's premier facilities for patients wanting to avail themselves of allogeneic bone marrow transplants. Hafsat and her family chose Dr. Dharma Choudhary from among the best doctors at BLK-MAX Hospital.

Dr. Choudhary is a well-known figure in India's Centre for Bone Marrow Transplant when it comes to specialization. He is currently serving as a Senior Director and HOD in the Bone Marrow Transplant Department at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, where he has been recognised for his adaptability and patient-centered approach.

BLK-MAX Hospital is India's largest private sector hospital with a total capacity of 650 beds, including 125 critical care beds and 17 state-of-the-art modular operating theatres. It also has one of the largest bone marrow transplant centres in Asia, as well as innovative robotic surgery systems.

The MediGence team began working on the patient and her sister and mother's visa application as soon as she chose to visit India. The hospital provided the MediGence team with a visa invitation letter. She acquired her visa in a short span of time. In addition, MediGence provided them with a few hotel options, which they selected based on their budget. The patient traveled with her sister and mother to BLK-MAX Hospital, Delhi, India for the second surgery for the implant removal as it was causing very discomfort and she was in pain.

Pre-treatment and process

On November 18, 2021, Hafsat, her sister, and her mother travelled to India. They were received at the airport by the MediGence Team, who also handled all of their lodging arrangements. The case manager made certain that the patient had access to the greatest hotel amenities. The patient and her sister were taken to the hospital by MediGence for a consultation with Dr. Dharma Choudhary. Dr. Dharma Choudhary's appointment with Hafsat and her family had been scheduled in advance.

The patient and her sister were admitted to the hospital right away. After completing all medical exams, the doctor advised Hafsat and her family to have a few diagnostic tests performed to determine her and her sister's (her donor) current health. The doctor reviewed the test results and determined that the patient may now undergo an allogeneic bone marrow transplant. Medication was prescribed by the doctor, and the process started.

For all of the procedure's prerequisites, the MediGence team cooperated with the hospital and specialists. The procedure went off without a hitch, and there were no serious issues. The patient and her family were happy with how smoothly the procedure went. As suggested by the physician, they stayed in the hospital for 30 days and in India for three months.

Post-treatment

Hafsat was released from the hospital after receiving proper care and rehabilitation. For rapid recovery, Dr. Dharma Choudhary advised the patient and her family to follow all of the guidelines and preventative steps. She was given a rehabilitation plan to follow for the next few months, after which she would be able to resume her normal life. During her stay at the hotel, her recuperation was also meticulously watched. The patient and her family were really pleased with the entire outcome.

They expressed their gratitude to the doctor for her outstanding care and counselling following the procedure. They praised MediGence in particular for managing their complete treatment journey in such a way that it alleviated all of their concerns about medical travel abroad. They also expressed gratitude to MediGence for assisting them from the outset, from choosing the correct doctor to scheduling consultations, managing hospitals, and arranging airport transfers.

According to the patient and her family, MediGence is the best option for any patient seeking treatment, wherever in the world. Ms. Hafsat returned to her home country after she had fully recovered. MediGence wishes her nothing but happiness and good health in the future!
