Patient Name: Amara
Gender: Male
Country of Origin: Kenya
Treatment: PDA Surgery
Hospital: Fortis, Escorts
Doctor: Dr. K.S. Iyer

 

Amara, a 3 year old male patient, required PDA surgery. His family contacted ClinicSpots to arrange an appointment at Fortis Hospital. After careful review, ClinicSpots recommended a consultation at Fortis Escorts Hospital with Dr. K.S. Iyer. They were also suggested to consult Dr. Dhananjay Malankar. However, after checking the profile and discussing it with the patient’s family, they again consulted Dr. Iyer at Fortis Escorts Hospital, Delhi.

With guidance from our medical counsellors, they recognized that ClinicSpots is a crucial link between patients and highly qualified medical experts, offering hope to patients worldwide. Discover Amara's remarkable journey through the challenges of PDA surgery.

 

Let's know more about their story in detail, about how Amara overcame all the hurdles to undergo PDA surgery.
 

One significant hurdle was the lack of a passport for the child. ClinicSpots stepped in, securing an emergency letter from Fortis Escorts Hospital, Delhi, urging immediate travel for the surgery. This facilitated the speedy acquisition of a passport. Upon sharing it, ClinicSpots provided the Visa Invitation Letter.

 

The family travelled to Delhi with assistance, including airport pick-up arranged by ClinicSpots' manager.  He also arranged prior accommodation for them within walking distance of the hospital. He assisted the family very well throughout their stay. 

 

The initial surgery cost was quoted at $5,800, with additional investigations adding $600. However, the successful surgery and a shorter hospital stay reduced the total cost to approximately $5,600.

It was a resounding success, leaving the family delighted with the results, the doctor, and the hospital services. The only post-operative guideline was a follow-up visit after 6 months.

After a 2-3 week stay, the family returned home with a successful outcome.
