Dr. P Jagannath Get successful Bone Marrow Transplant Of Nigerian Patient

Hi my name is Chibundo Pepple I am From Nigeria I am sharing my story Of successful bone marrow transplant In India.

After consultations and multiple rounds of Chemotherapy in Nigeria, it was clear that the only route left remaining was to get a Bone Marrow Transplant. In hopes for proper care, I began looking for treatment alternatives abroad because of lack of proper health delivery sector in Nigeria has seen its residents spend huge sums of money, millions of dollars, for medical treatments in India, The huge number of people who are coming from Nigeria to India can clearly be seen from the number of visas that have been issued in the past years. In the last few years, India has become a vacation spot of preference for numbers of Nigerian sufferers because of its low cost, quality of healthcare, expertise in complex surgeries and no waiting time. 

For me money was not an object, I simply wanted the best healthcare and to soon get better. Being quite familiar with all things online, I began scouring the internet for options; my search eventually led me to Dr. P. Jagannath who is a trusted surgical oncologist. He has been a member of team performing the first bone marrow transplantation in India. I think the best thing about his service is that you have multiple options which make the entire process a lot easier. After speaking to him decided to go with him.

 

Arriving at Mumbai, We both husband and wife were picked up from the airport and dropped at our hotel before the day of my appointment. We meet Dr. P. Jagannath who would conduct the procedure. He was all too familiar with cases of this nature ruled out chemotherapy. After weeks of platelet transfusions, a bone marrow transplant was the only real cure as a relapse was fairly certain given the prognosis. Thankfully he specializes in procedures of this nature. The procedure involved carefully replacing the unhealthy marrow with extracted marrow from the patient.

 

Following the procedure, the doctor was very positive with me after the disease began disappearing. I started to glimpse at the possibility that I may get to go home soon. I had to face with a tremendous amount of physical challenges post-transplant but I was on my way to recovery. I am still on medication, but the doctor has lowered my dosage. I have also made considerable changes in my diet.

 

After almost three months in India, We made our way back to Nigeria on the 15th of Feb. Now back in my home country, I and my family are as happy as ever. Doing laundry, making dinner for my family and being with my family was never as wonderful as it became after my diagnosis. This entire ordeal had made me appreciate life and the graces of God. Thank you for your tremendous help of Dr. P. Jagannath and support you gave us while we were in India and thanks to the staff of Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai as well. Must say Dr. P. Jagannath is the best   bone marrow transplant doctor in India.”
