Mr. Mohammed Meskine from Algeria needed urgent cardio treatment and decided to visit India after contacting Vaidam Health. He earlier considered going to Europe for his treatment but decided not to move forward as the countries there are expensive and take a lot of time for processing visas.

On the other hand, India takes nearly 3-5 days for visa approval and Meskine decided to be treated at one of the top cardiac hospitals in India, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Okhla Road, New Delhi where his surgery was performed by Dr. Vishal Rastogi.

He also insists that Algerians wanting to travel for medical treatment should visit India with the help of Vaidam Health.
