Child from Kenya Recovers from Complex Heart Surgery in India

Brian, a cheerful 7-year-old from Nairobi, was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect at birth. Local doctors recommended a high-risk open-heart surgery, but his parents struggled to find the right facility with pediatric cardiac expertise in Kenya.

After connecting with The Medical Trip Health, the family was provided with a clear treatment roadmap, estimated costs, and the name of a globally recognized pediatric heart surgeon. Visa assistance, airport transfers, and family accommodation near the hospital were also arranged in advance.

At Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Dr. Anil Mehta successfully performed the surgery. Brian’s recovery was remarkable; within two weeks, his oxygen levels improved, and his energy returned.

His mother said, “We were so worried about sending our child to another country for surgery, but the team treated us like family. Every detail was taken care of, and we could focus only on Brian’s health.”

Today, Brian is back home, attending school, and enjoying a normal, active childhood.
