Grace Wanjiru, a mother of three from Nairobi, was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer earlier this year. Wanting access to advanced treatment protocols and a dedicated oncology team, she reached out to GD Healthcare to explore options in India.

Her case was reviewed by Dr. Ashok Kumar Vaid, a senior medical oncologist at Medanta, who designed a personalized chemotherapy regimen alongside close monitoring for side effects.

Throughout her medical journey, GD Healthcare provided comprehensive assistance, including:

  • Reviewing her biopsy and imaging reports before travel
  • Scheduling a multidisciplinary tumor board review on arrival
  • Arranging extended-stay accommodation for her full treatment cycle
  • Coordinating nutrition and counselling support during chemotherapy
  • Keeping her family in Nairobi updated after every session
"Dr. Vaid and his team treated me like family, not just a patient. That made all the difference during the hardest months of my life."

Grace has now completed her chemotherapy cycles and returned home to continue follow-up care with her local oncologist, guided by Medanta's treatment summary.
