Malakai Chinhaja Junior, a 7-year-old boy from Mozambique, came to India for sickle cell anemia treatment. He was dealing with several symptoms since birth, which were also hindering his day-to-day activities.
While looking at his condition, his parents were eager to get him treatment. So, they started searching for affordable and effective treatment options abroad, as no treatment was available in their country.
One of their friends suggested India, a leading country for medical treatment. As soon as they connected us, we guided them from the very beginning. Our team guided them step-by-step through the entire treatment process, starting with HLA testing, finding a suitable donor, selecting the right hospital, arranging consultations with expert doctors, and managing all travel and logistical needs.
They shared their son’s condition in a brief and also shared the reports. To confirm the situation, we also arranged a video consultation with Dr. Vikas Dua, one of the leading Hemat-Oncologists at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon. After reviewing his medical reports, Dr. Dua recommended a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT).
We advised the family to undergo HLA testing before coming to India to locate a suitable donor. Fortunately, his younger brother was found to be a complete match.
Once the family arrived in India, our team welcomed them at the airport, arranged comfortable accommodation, and provided round-the-clock assistance throughout their stay.
Also, we guided them to the hospital where Dr. Vikas Dua and his team successfully performed the bone marrow transplant. For treatment and recovery, they stayed in India for four months.
His mother shared her gratitude, saying:
“We’re thankful for Dr. Vikas Dua and his team for the successful bone marrow transplant and also for the BMTClinic team for being there at every step for my son’s treatment.”
His medical journey is a powerful reflection of hope and unwavering determination to overcome a life-threatening disease.
We wish him a healthy, happy, and fulfilling future ahead!
