Diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of six, the bright and curious boy from Dhaka, Bangladesh, endured three seizures every week. Despite years of treatment in his home country, Fahim saw little relief. His condition not only affected his physical health—it robbed him of a normal childhood.

Fahim, now 14, had once loved to play cricket. But the fear of collapsing mid-game or in front of friends drove him indoors. He stopped playing outside and spent most of his time watching or playing cricket on a mobile device or TV. His studies also began to suffer, and his overall development lagged behind other boys his age. A boy full of potential, Fahim had started retreating into himself.

His family, deeply concerned, began exploring better medical options abroad—and that’s when they discovered VivaVel Health.

Through a single inquiry on VivaVel.com, the family found a trusted guide in their search for advanced epilepsy care. The VivaVel team swiftly reviewed Fahim’s medical records and arranged online consultations with top neurologists from three major hospitals in India. After careful evaluation, the family chose Artemis Hospital in Gurgaon, drawn by the expertise of Dr. Sumit Singh and Dr. Vivek Barun, both renowned for their work in epilepsy management.

From that point on, VivaVel became their constant companion.

From helping secure the official medical visa invitation via the AYUSH Visa Portal to airport pickup, hotel arrangements, and daily assistance at the hospital, the VivaVel team was involved at every step. A dedicated team member even accompanied Fahim and his family throughout their stay, ensuring comfort, coordination, and emotional support during their entire time in India.

Fahim arrived in India on 28th April. The mood was a mix of hope and uncertainty.

At Artemis, he underwent a comprehensive evaluation, including advanced diagnostic tests like the Epilepsy Protocol MRI and Video EEG monitoring. After thoroughly studying the results, the doctors concluded that surgery was not necessary. Instead, they prescribed a four-month conservative medication plan, to be tapered gradually over time.

The results were immediate and stunning—from the day Fahim started his new treatment, he didn’t experience a single seizure when he was in India.

His parents, overwhelmed with relief, chose not to pursue a second opinion, so confident were they in the care provided by Dr. Singh and Dr. Barun.

During their stay in India, the VivaVel team helped with everything—from arranging appointments to buying medicines, organizing local sightseeing, and even assisting in shopping to lift the family’s spirits. The family was so moved by the care they received that they offered a heartfelt gift to the VivaVel team member who had stood by them like a family member.

Now back in Dhaka, Fahim is still under the supervision of his doctors in India through regular online consultations. He remains seizure-free. His studies have resumed, his confidence is returning, and soon, the cricket field will see his return too.

"আমরা খুব চিন্তিত ছিলাম, কী করবো বুঝতে পারছিলাম না। VivaVel আমাদের সব দিক থেকে সাহায্য করেছে—সহযোগিতা, চিকিৎসার পরিষ্কার ধারণা, আর সবচেয়ে বড় কথা, ভালোবাসা ও যত্ন। আমরা চিরকাল কৃতজ্ঞ থাকবো।"
— সায়েদ হাবিবুল হাসান, ফাহিমের বাবা

("We were very anxious and didn’t know what to do. VivaVel helped us in every way—support, clear medical understanding, and most importantly, care and compassion. We will always be grateful."
— Syed Habibul Hasan, Fahim’s father)

Fahim’s story is not just a medical success—it is a reminder of what happens when expertise, empathy, and unwavering support come together. With Artemis Hospital and VivaVel Health, a child reclaimed his childhood—and a family found peace.
