Mr. Onwuka Ogbonnaya from Nigeria suffered from a brain stroke two years back. The disease paralyzes half of his body. He had problems speaking and also developed movement disorder. Her sister, who lives in the USA, contacted Vaidam Health to find the best possible care. After viewing his reports, we asked him to come to India and consult a neurologist.

On our advice, the patient came to India and met Dr. Man Mohan, a leading Neurologist with over 41 years of clinical experience. He was admitted to BLK Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi, for two days to manage his condition medically. Several blood tests and imaging tests like CT and MRI scans were done. All the reports were normal.

The doctor advised speech therapy and physiotherapy for the patient. Both treatments yielded excellent results. Onwuka came to India in a wheelchair, but now he can walk. His speaking abilities have also improved.

Delighted with the therapy outcomes and the assistance we provided, the family thanked us for our services. They also said they would recommend us to anyone who needs medical help abroad.

Our best wishes are with Mr. Onwuka, and we hope he regains his full body function soon.
