Burkina Faso Patient’s Story of Open Heart Surgery in India

Faiz Traoré, a 54-year-old man from Burkina Faso, had always led a life enjoying time with his family and friends. However, a few months ago, he started experiencing troubling symptoms. He felt short of breath even after mild exertion, and a persistent weakness made it hard for him to perform daily activities. Worried, Faiz consulted his doctor, who diagnosed him with heart failure. His heart had become too weak to pump the necessary amount of blood, leading to fluid buildup in his lower body, around his neck, and his stomach. This diagnosis was a shock to Faiz.

He knew he needed to take decisive action to address his condition. Recalling conversations with friends who spoke highly of the advanced medical care available in India, Faiz decided to explore this option further. He turned to the internet for more information and soon came across our India Cardiac Surgery Site, which detailed our comprehensive medical services and patient success stories.

Faiz reached out to us and was promptly connected with one of our dedicated case managers. The case manager provided him with information about the medical procedures available and facilitated consultations with top cardiac surgeons in India. These surgeons reviewed his case and offered their expert opinions, giving Faiz the confidence he needed to proceed.

Determined to reclaim his health, Faiz made the decision to travel to India for cardiac treatment. Upon his arrival, he was warmly welcomed and taken care of by BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi. The hospital where he was admitted offered professional staff who ensured he felt comfortable and well-informed every step of the way.

Faiz underwent a comprehensive evaluation, which confirmed that an open-heart surgery was the best course of action to treat his heart failure. The thought of surgery was daunting, but the assurance and expertise of the medical team put him at ease. The surgery was performed by a Dr. Ramji Mehrotra Top Open heart surgeon and was a success. Faiz spent some time in the hospital’s recovery unit, where he received exceptional post-operative care.

During his recovery, Faiz was supported by a team of doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists who monitored his progress closely. Their dedication and encouragement were instrumental in his recovery. Gradually, Faiz regained his strength and the troubling symptoms he had experienced began to dissipate.

After several weeks, Faiz was discharged from the hospital. He was provided with detailed instructions for his continued recovery and medication management. Before leaving, he had a final consultation with his Dr. Ramji Mehrotra, who was pleased with his progress and optimistic about his future health.
