For any person no doubt the worst feeling one could have when facing an uncertain fate of one’s own health, this has been the case for Kamal a 35 year old man from Mauritius who started experiencing dizziness and vision impairment. When the symptoms worsened he began to experience severe symptoms, which alarmed him and made him seek for medical check-up. Thus, unable to get desired results at hometown, Kamal and his family turned to seeking sophisticated treatment abroad. In the course of searching for the place, they stumble upon GetWellGo, where there are uplifting stories of other patients that motivates them. Through the GetWellGo’s cooperation, Kamal indicated an experienced neurosurgeon Dr. Sandeep Vaishya from Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Delhi.

Realizing these facts our team setup a separate case manager to look after Kamal and other arrangements for travel to India etc. Not only giving him the visa support, we also take the responsibility to manage other things such as the travel needs of him and his family. When he got an opportunity to travel to India, the coordinators arranged for his pick up from the airport to the hospital, thus provided him a smooth entry.

Dr. Vaishya concurred with the diagnosis explaining to them that there was a tumor found on the brain after conducting a check-up at the Fortis Memorial Research Institute. Due to this situation, Dr. Vaishya advised for a craniotomy operation to have the tumor to be eliminated from his head. In fact, the medical procedure was conducted effectively and Kamal’s progress was being observed by the medical team.

After the surgery, Kamal started on a long journey of practice in order to walk again, this lasted for several months. By maintaining much patience and proper medical attendants he started recovering from the weak and exhausted state. In the following six months, he again went back to India for check-up and radiotherapy in order to complete the process. Today, Kamal is hale and hearty, and there is no denying that advanced medical facilities and sheer determination played the decisive role on his journey.

Kamal was also filled with grateful feelings and gladly expressed himself as follows:

To me, the treatment I got at Fortis Memorial Research Institute was one of the best I have ever encountered anywhere in the world. I would like to express my special appreciation to Dr. Vaishya and the rest of the medical staff. I am particularly grateful to the coordinators; who were always with me right from my first day in India till the time I was leaving.
