According to the World Heart Foundation, it is estimated that 40 million people around the world suffer from Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD). It happens when these valves get damaged, making it harder for your heart to work properly.

Ms. Fortune, a 21-year-old from Zimbabwe, was suffering from the same, which led to her heart having a hard time pumping enough blood to the body. She wanted reliable treatment outside her home country, and that’s when her friend informed her about Vaidam Health. She contacted us and told us about her condition.

We assigned her a case manager, who advised her to come to India and consult the best doctor. Ms. Fortune came to India with her sister and consulted Dr. Ajay Kaul, a Cardiac Surgeon with over 36 years of experience. 

After a detailed evaluation, the doctor suggested that she should undergo Mitral Valve Replacement, which was successfully performed at Fortis Hospital, Noida.

Her sister expressed her gratitude, saying she was very happy that everything went well. They both stayed almost a month in India and returned to their country.

We wish her a smooth recovery!
