We at GetWellGo bring timely, affordable and, the most important, high-quality medical treatment. The example that deserves to be mentioned is the remarkable recovery from appendix cancer of Maria Okosodo, a courageous woman hailing from Nigeria, who has faced extreme hardships in her health, at Fortis Shalimar Park under the excellent guidance of Dr. Kapil Kumar.

Case History: Maria Okosodo a 54 year old Nigerian woman arrived in India in December 2019, who was accompanied by her daughter as an attendant. This woman had a problem of chronic dyspepsia (indigestion) and this had not been diagnosed in her home country Nigeria. Even after seeking for several tests and examinations by different physicians in Nigeria, her case had still not been clear.

Diagnostic tests conducted by Fortis Hospital: Once reaching Fortis Shalimar Park, Maria Okosodo was handed over to Dr. Kapil Kumar, a highly respected and surgical oncologist with plenty of experience. Furthermore, after doing an endoscopy, blood tests, and PET- Scan. Dr. Kumar determined that Maria Okosodo was suffering from appendix cancer. Maria Okosodo also had a history of uterus removal surgery. 

Treatment plan offered: Dr. Kapil Kumar and his team came up with a radical approach to therapy where the treatment  was initiated with a long, 8-hour surgery. 95% of the tumour was removed through the surgery. The operation was successful for the patient and was followed by chemotherapy.

Trouble loomed over Maria Okosodo just after the treatment commenced, as the COVID19 pandemic broke out and engulfed the world. The patient also found herself in a different land battling a health crisis of pandemic proportions. Despite this, she kept all appointments with her doctor and planned subsequent ones because she realised that check-ups are essential in her recovery process. 

She flew back to Nigeria as everything returned to normal and is now leading a happy and healthy life.
