A Journey to Healing: Naomi Shamim’s Story
Patient Name: Naomi Shamim
Disease: Fibroadenoma (Breast Lump)
Doctor Name: Dr. Deepak Jha
Hospital: Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon
Hospital Stay: 3 days
Post-Discharge Recovery: 2-3 weeks
Naomi Shamim, a resident of Kenya, faced a distressing health challenge when she discovered a lump in her left breast. Concerned and in discomfort, she sought medical assistance from local hospitals and doctors. However, despite multiple consultations, she found no effective treatment or relief from the persistent pain. Frustration and anxiety grew as she struggled to find the proper medical care.
Determined to seek a solution, Naomi turned to VivaVel.com, a leading medical tourism platform connecting patients with top hospitals in India. Through VivaVel.com, she was promptly guided to Dr. Deepak Jha, a highly experienced breast cancer and oncoplastic surgeon at Artemis Hospital, India. Understanding the urgency of Naomi’s condition, the VivaVel.com team swiftly arranged a comprehensive medical travel package, ensuring a seamless experience from Kenya to India.
Naomi arrived in India in August 2024, where she was warmly received by the VivaVel.com team at the airport. They ensured a smooth transition to her accommodation and guided her through the initial steps of her medical journey.
Naomi visited Artemis Hospital in Gurgaon the day after her arrival, where she underwent a thorough pre-operative evaluation. The medical team conducted advanced diagnostics, high-resolution imaging, and radiological scans to rule out breast carcinoma and gain a precise understanding of her condition. These detailed assessments allowed Dr. Deepak Jha to determine the most suitable treatment approach. After careful review, he recommended a lumpectomy, a specialized breast-conserving surgical procedure designed to remove the lump while preserving healthy tissue.
With meticulous precision, Dr. Deepak Jha successfully performed the lumpectomy, completely removing the abnormal growth while prioritizing Naomi’s post-surgical recovery.
Naomi’s hospital stay lasted three days, during which she received dedicated post-operative care from a team of expert breast cancer specialists and oncologists. Following her discharge, she remained in India for two weeks for follow-up appointments and recovery. The compassionate medical staff at Artemis Hospital, along with the dedicated support of VivaVel Health, ensured she felt comfortable and well-informed throughout her healing journey abroad.
With her health restored and peace of mind regained, Naomi returned to Kenya, relieved and grateful. She resumed her daily life, empowered by the high-quality medical treatment in India and the personalized patient care she received. Her story is a testament to the transformative impact of medical travel, bridging the gap between patients and world-class healthcare solutions.
Today, Naomi Shamim enjoys a pain-free life and advocates for timely medical intervention, encouraging others to seek the best possible treatment in India through reliable healthcare travel platforms like VivaVel Health.
Best wishes to Naomi from the entire team at VivaVel.com! We are proud to have been part of her journey to recovery and remain committed to helping international patients access the best hospitals in India for advanced medical treatment.

"VivaVel" has truly made a life-changing impact on our lives during a challenging time. My wife was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), and despite consulting three different doctors in Bangladesh, we were unsatisfied and uncertain about the way forward. It was a confusing and challenging phase until a friend recommended VivaVel.
From the moment "I contacted them", VivaVel provided exceptional support and guidance. They arranged telemedicine consultations with two renowned international doctors, giving us the confidence to make an informed decision. After careful consideration, we selected one of the doctors for my wife's treatment.
VivaVel's assistance went above and beyond our expectations. They helped us with critical processes like obtaining a medical visa invitation letter, visa processing, and coordinating my wife's admission to "Artemis Hospital" in Delhi. They even suggested comfortable accommodations for me as a patient attendant.
What truly stood out was their unwavering support throughout our journey. The "VivaVel team" was always just a phone call away, offering guidance and reassurance during our stay in Delhi. Their professionalism and dedication to helping patients and their families are truly commendable.
I am incredibly grateful for the care and support from "VivaVel." They were a beacon of hope for us during this difficult time, and I sincerely hope they continue their outstanding service to help more needy patients.
Thank you, "VivaVel," for being there for us every step of the way!
