Mstr. Maddie Jackson, a 14-year-old boy from South Africa, had been struggling with symptoms related to a brain tumor that were significantly affecting his daily life. With limited treatment availability and high costs in their home country, Maddie’s parents began looking for affordable and advanced treatment options abroad.
Their online search for affordable, advanced treatment led them to India, where they connected with Medsurge India, a medical travel assistance company. Through Medsurge India, they received end-to-end support, from identifying the right doctor and hospital to assistance with e-medical visas, travel, accommodation, language support, and all the necessary logistics.
Our team connected them with Dr. Uday Krishna, a leading Radiation Oncologist at Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, Chennai, and arranged a video consultation. After reviewing Maddie’s reports, the doctor recommended Proton Beam Therapy—a highly precise and effective treatment especially suited for pediatric brain tumors. The detailed guidance and transparent communication gave the family the confidence to move forward with treatment in India.
Upon arrival, our team welcomed Maddie’s family at the airport and provided full support throughout their stay. Maddie underwent Proton Beam Therapy under the supervision of Dr. Uday Krishna. The treatment consisted of 22–25 sessions, spread over several weeks.
After two months of treatment and recovery in India, Maddie is now stable and recovering well, with regular follow-ups still ongoing.
While thanking us, Maddie’s parents shared,
“We are truly grateful to the Medsurge India team and Dr. Uday Krishna for the exceptional care, attention, and treatment provided throughout this journey. We couldn’t have made it through without your constant support.”
We wish Maddie a full and healthy recovery and are proud to have been part of his healing journey.
