Mrs. Sambo developed Pterygium, a condition marked by raised fleshy growth on the eyes. She consulted eye specialists in her home country and got it removed surgically in 2022. But soon, she developed postoperative complications and also started having headaches. Unhappy with the surgery results, she contacted Vaidam Health for medical assistance.

Mrs. Sambo came to India along with her husband, Mr. Feliciano. She consulted Dr. Hemlata Gupta, a leading Ophthalmologist with 19 years of experience. Dr. Hemlata has been associated with the Centre for Sight Eye Hospital for the past 15 years. After properly examining the patient's eyes, it was concluded that she does not require surgery now, and medications were prescribed accordingly. Her headaches have been subsidized, and her vision has also improved considerably. Feliciano also got his whole body checkup done at Fortis Hospital, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.

They stayed in India for about one week. The couple felt at ease with the Vaidam team's constant support throughout their medical journey. They have now returned to their home country.

And wish them a healthy life ahead!
