Husina Kobugabe, a 25-year-old woman from Uganda, had been living with a painful knee injury that affected her daily movement. After a torn ligament and meniscus damage were confirmed, she began looking for a reliable option for ACL reconstruction surgery in India, a treatment better suited to her needs than what was locally available.

Husina's family first learned about Vaidam Health through an online enquiry and later connected with the team at a medical camp held for prospective international patients. This gave them the confidence to take the next step and plan a treatment journey to India.

With her sister by her side for support, Husina arrived in India and was referred to Dr. Vivek Dahiya, a well-regarded orthopaedic surgeon at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram. After a detailed clinical assessment, Dr. Dahiya recommended ACL reconstruction surgery combined with meniscus repair to restore stability and function to her knee.

The surgery was performed successfully at Medanta Hospital. Husina remained in India for close observation and guided physiotherapy, and within about 20 days, she began her recovery journey with noticeable improvement in her mobility.

Throughout her medical journey, Vaidam Health provided end-to-end assistance, making the entire experience seamless for Husina and her sister. From helping them obtain their medical visa and scheduling appointments with Dr. Vivek Dahiya to coordinating treatment, arranging airport pick-up and drop-off, comfortable accommodation, language support, local transportation, meal assistance, and regular coordination with the hospital, the Vaidam team ensured they were supported at every stage. Our dedicated case managers also stayed in touch throughout the treatment, promptly addressing every query and making their visit to India smooth, comfortable, and stress-free.

"I am grateful for the care I received at Medanta Hospital. Dr. Vivek Dahiya and his team explained everything clearly, and my recovery has been better than I expected. Vaidam Health made this entire journey easier for my sister and me." — Husina Kobugabe

Vaidam Health wishes Husina Kobugabe continued strength and a smooth, complete recovery ahead.
