Patient Name: Tatenda Moyo (Name Changed for Privacy)
Country: Zimbabwe
Treatment: Gastroenterology Tumor Treatment
Doctor: Dr. Vinay Gaikwad
Hospital: Fortis Hospital, Manesar
Tatenda Moyo, a teacher from Zimbabwe, had been suffering from severe stomach pain for a long time. The pain was worse at night and increased whenever her abdomen was touched. Along with abdominal pain, she also experienced gastric discomfort, which started affecting her daily routine, sleep, and overall well-being.
Worried about her health, Tatenda and her family connected with the Medsurge India team for medical guidance. Before she traveled to India, our team arranged a video consultation with Dr. Vinay Gaikwad, a renowned Surgical Oncologist at Fortis Hospital, Manesar. After reviewing her condition, the doctor advised her to travel to India for detailed evaluation and further diagnosis, as advanced investigations were needed to understand the exact cause of her symptoms.
After arriving in India, Tatenda underwent detailed medical investigations, including full-body MRI scans, other imaging tests, and an endoscopic biopsy. The reports showed the presence of a retroperitoneal mass. However, the biopsy confirmed that the tumor was non-cancerous, which brought great relief to Tatenda and her family.
After complete evaluation, Dr. Vinay Gaikwad and his team planned the surgery. Tatenda successfully underwent laparotomy with retroperitoneal mass excision and duodenectomy at Fortis Hospital, Manesar. The procedure was completed successfully, and she received proper medical care, monitoring, and support during her recovery.
Throughout her treatment journey, the Medsurge India team assisted her with doctor coordination, hospital appointments, investigations, and overall stay in India.
Sharing her experience, Tatenda said:
“I had an excellent experience with the Medsurge India team. Their commitment, good communication, and professional support made our stay in India comfortable and memorable. I am also grateful to Dr. Vinay Gaikwad, the hospital staff, and the entire Fortis Hospital team for their cooperation, quality medical care, and guidance throughout the process.”
Today, Tatenda is recovering well and is satisfied with her treatment experience in India.
