Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a common congenital heart defect found in about 25% of children with symptoms like difficulty in breathing and shortness of breath. Whendy Ogole Arukor, 2 years and 10 months old, from Uganda, was also diagnosed with ASD. Her mother, Ms. Winnie Namagembe, was worried about her condition and started looking for treatment options in India. That's when Vaidam caught her attention.
The mother contacted us, and one of our case managers quickly made arrangements for them.
They came to India and consulted Dr. Ashish Katewa, a Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgeon with over 14 years of experience.
Upon evaluation of the daughter's report, the doctor suggested that she undergo Mitral Valve Repair, a type of surgery to fix or replace a leaky or stiff mitral valve in the heart.
Dr. Ashish Katewa performed the surgery successfully at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad.
They were delighted with our services, such as follow-ups with doctors, medication, and overall coordination throughout their medical journey.
After spending around a month in India, they returned to their home country.
The mother expressed her appreciation by recommending Vaidam Health to anyone seeking treatment options.
We wish Whendy a speedy recovery. May her days ahead be filled with joy, playfulness, and good health!
