My 6-month-old daughter had a critical ventricular septal defect and coarctation of the aorta in Nairobi. Local doctors recommended Fortis Escorts in Delhi. The pediatric heart surgery team performed a flawless operation. LyfCure arranged our Indian Medical Visa within 24 hours and met us directly at Delhi airport. My baby is now smiling, healthy, and growing rapidly.

I had severe triple vessel coronary blockage and was denied bypass elsewhere due to low cardiac function in Dar es Salaam. Dr. Ashok Seth and the surgical team at Fortis Escorts performed a successful beating-heart surgery. The treatment was affordable compared to private clinics in South Africa. The Swahili coordinator made our stay comfortable.

Patient from Tanzania

My mother required a complex transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR) from Kampala. Fortis Escorts is truly the gold standard in heart care. The valve was replaced without open-heart surgery, and she walked the next day! LyfCure arranged a serviced apartment in New Friends Colony with our own kitchen, which was a huge blessing.
