Patient Background
Gendes, an 8 year old boy from Ghana, faced significant health challenges due to a severe cardiac condition. His parents noticed early symptoms like
- severe weakness
- unable to walk
- difficulty breathing
which progressively worsened, making even simple daily activities a struggle. Concerned for their son’s well-being, Gendes's family sought medical help, leading to a diagnosis that required specialized treatment unavailable in their home country.
Desperate for a solution, Gendes's family came across ClinicSpots, a platform renowned for connecting patients with top medical care providers in India. ClinicSpots facilitated the entire process, from providing information on leading hospitals and expert doctors to handling travel arrangements. This comprehensive support gave Gendes's family confidence in seeking treatment abroad.

Upon their arrival in Delhi, our field manager ensured their airport pickup and arranged accommodation. Gendes and his family were welcomed by the ClinicSpots team, who ensured a smooth transition to the hospital. The chosen hospital, recognized for its expertise in pediatric cardiac care, offered a detailed treatment plan after a thorough evaluation by a team of experienced cardiologists and surgeons.
Treatment and Surgery
Gendes's condition required a complex surgical procedure to correct the arteries. Experienced pediatric cardiac surgeon Dr. Muthu Jothi and his medical team, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, meticulously prepared for the surgery. The procedure, though intricate, was successfully performed, marking a significant milestone in Gendes's road to recovery.
Post-Surgery Care and Recovery
Following the surgery, Gendes was closely monitored in the intensive care unit.
Initially, the recovery was quite slow. However, after 3 days, he started to be able to communicate a little, and upon his return, he was stable.
The hospital staff provided exceptional post-operative care, focusing on his gradual recovery. His family was constantly updated on his progress, and the supportive environment helped Gendes regain strength. Over the weeks, he showed remarkable improvement, slowly resuming activities he once enjoyed.
Returning Home
With his condition stabilized, Gendes was discharged from the hospital after 5 days. ClinicSpots continued to assist the family, ensuring they had all necessary follow-up care details and medical advice for their return to Ghana. The successful treatment in India improved Gendes's health and brought immense relief and joy to his family.
Gendes's story is a testament to the importance of accessible, quality healthcare. His parents were grateful to the medical team and ClinicSpots for their unwavering support and professional care throughout the journey.
