Raya Abdullah’s Cancer Care Journey with MediGence

At 66, Raya Abdullah from Oman was going through a very difficult phase of her life. She had been experiencing severe stomach pain, loss of appetite, and significant weight loss, which led to medical tests. The results confirmed a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, a condition that requires timely and specialised treatment.

Faced with this challenging news, Raya and her family began searching for the best possible medical care. During their search, they connected with MediGence through a direct lead and reached out for guidance. She got in touch with the team on 12 October 2025, and her case was carefully reviewed.

Choosing the Right Treatment Destination

After evaluating her medical reports and discussing available options, the MediGence team recommended treatment in India, known for its experienced oncologists and advanced cancer care facilities at affordable costs.

Raya decided to travel to Artemis Hospital, where she would be treated by Dr. Priya Tiwari, a specialist in oncology. The hospital offered comprehensive cancer care, including advanced diagnostic facilities and modern treatment protocols.

Evaluation and Treatment Planning in India

Raya travelled to India on 12 December for her medical evaluation. She stayed in the country for nine days, with three days spent in the hospital for tests, consultations, and treatment planning.

At Artemis Hospital, she underwent a detailed medical evaluation, which helped the oncology team understand the stage and behaviour of her cancer. Based on the findings, the doctors recommended a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy as part of her treatment plan.

Since the treatment required multiple cycles over time, it was decided that Raya would begin the therapy in her home country after receiving the complete treatment plan and guidance from the specialists in India.

Support from MediGence

Throughout her journey, the MediGence team provided end-to-end assistance to ensure a smooth experience. This included:

  • Treatment planning and hospital coordination
  • Visa assistance
  • Airport transfer arrangements
  • Continuous support during her stay

Her patient advisor, Zainab, remained in touch with her to ensure that all arrangements were handled efficiently and that she felt supported during a challenging time.

Moving Forward with Hope

Although her cancer journey is ongoing, Raya returned home with a clear treatment plan and the confidence that she was on the right path. The detailed evaluation and expert recommendations she received in India gave her and her family clarity about the next steps.

Her story reflects the importance of timely diagnosis, expert consultation, and proper treatment planning. With the support of MediGence and the oncology team at Artemis Hospital, Raya was able to access specialized care and move forward with hope and determination.
