Tumour of any kind comes as a shock for the patient as well as his or her family and this is exactly what happened when Riaz Elias’s parents came to know about Riaz having a Brain Tumour. At such a young age, it was extremely burdening for the child to go through the difficulties caused by the presence of the tumour. He has lot of complications and he wasn’t able to go to school. Not only this, his friends used to make fun of him.

It led to the child stay very depressed and in pain. His parents were very worried and took him to the local hospital, where they were told that Riaz would need an advanced Brain procedure to get rid of the tumour. However, Malawi is a country lagging much behind in the matter of healthcare and does not have enough advanced treatment measure to cater to its population. This is why, it was not possible to find the right arrangements for Riaz’s surgery. The family’s local acquaintance guided them to try the treatment in other countries.

On doing a bit of research on this, they found India to be the most suitable choice as it also met their financial limitations. Without any delay his parents managed to connect with Artemis Hospital in Gurugram and Riaz’s case came under the expert supervision of Dr. Vipul Nanda. Riaz and his parents were very happy to meet Dr. Nanda, who on thoroughly examined the child and told them everything about the procedure that would be done on Riaz. He also went through his previous health reports and suggested some more tests to be sure. Riaz’s mother, Mrs. Patricia says that the Dr. Nanda very patiently handled their queries and sounded very confident, which boosted their morale too.

Without wasting more time, Dr. Vipul Nanda and his team performed the surgery and remove the tumour. At the same time, with his proficiency, he ensured that there was no disfigurement. In the next few days, Dr. Nanda observed Riaz very carefully to check if there are any complications but thankfully the child had a very smooth recovery.
According to Mrs. Patricia, the love and support that they got here has been overwhelming. She is very grateful to Dr. Nanda and the other staff members for looking after Riaz so well. She is so happy that Riaz will be able to go to school again and he is looking so good.
