Mrs. Sally Tangyie has been suffering from extreme hip pain for the past 4 years. After consulting more than ten doctors in over five private hospitals in her home country, Cameroon, she was still not diagnosed properly. She tried acupuncture and physiotherapy, but they were of no use. Her pain grew so severe that she could not sleep at night.

Her daughter living in Canada contacted Vaidam Health for assistance. We suggested that she visit India as the country has some of the best orthopedic surgeons. She came here with her brother and consulted Dr. Puneet Mishra, a renowned Orthopedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon practicing in New Delhi. After a thorough examination, the doctor suggested a total hip replacement surgery.

The THR surgery was performed successfully at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh. She was mesmerized by the hospital infrastructure, the multidisciplinary team's efforts, and the surgeon's expertise. Delighted with the results, she thanked the surgeon and hospital staff as now she can walk and sleep pain-free.

She also thanked the team of Vaidam Health for a pleasant stay and a smooth medical journey in India.

We wish her a speedy recovery and a long, healthy life ahead.
