This was when he decided to come to India and get rid of his problem once and for all.
Choice of doctor and getting the quote
The moment when Vincent Kariuki came you know about Vaidam Health, he posted a query on their website. Soon after, he received a phone call by one of the case managers, Heena Mehta. The case manager took his reports and shared them with some of the best oncologists in India.
After receiving a list of opinions and quotes, he decided to consult Dr. Chandragouda Dodagoudar at BLK hospital, New Delhi. This led to the initiation of his process to visit India.

The team also helped him in the application of visa and getting a “fit to fly” certificate. The accommodation was also arranged near the hospital as per his requirements for a comfortable stay. After the completion of all the paperwork, he finally arrived in India on 14th February.
Vincent’s experience in India
The patient was received by a team member from the airport and dropped to the hotel. His appointment was booked with the doctor. The doctor had a detailed conversation with the patient and took a medical history asking about any past medical illness or related family history. This was followed by a clinical examination after which he was sent for further investigations. To his surprise, the reports came negative for any cancerous lesion. This was good news.

After making a diagnosis, he prescribed the patient, medication regime.
