24 years old, Mr. Victor Githinji had his first seizure in 2006. He was evaluated in his home country and was given some medicines. His condition didn’t improve, and he started having recurrent episodes of generalized tonic-clonic seizures in 2012. His family approached Vaidam Health, where we advised them of some of the best neurologists in India.

Victor came to India on 16th May and was admitted to Medanta Hospital under Dr. Arun Garg, a renowned Neurologist with 37 years of experience. Anti-epileptic medicines were prescribed for managing the seizures. After the final evaluation, it was concluded that epilepsy surgery would be the best course of treatment for him. Dr. Sudhir Dubey, with an experience of over 10,000 neurosurgeries, successfully performed the epilepsy surgery. Victor was discharged within four days.

They received all the necessary support from the team of Vaidam Health. We assisted them with their visa arrangements, hospital admission, surgeon’s consultation, postoperative care, and hotel stay.

We wish him a speedy recovery and a healthy life ahead.
