Facing a 15% chance of death and a 25% chance of paralysis, he turned to Manaaki Healthcare after seeing their advertisement on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Birhanu wanted to ensure his local doctor was involved, so Manaaki Healthcare connected with his doctor to address all concerns. After thorough discussions, Birhanu chose Dr. Ramji at BLK &#8211; MAX Hospital in India for his endovascular surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arriving in India, Manaaki Healthcare arranged a face-to-face meeting with Dr. Ramji and another specialist, recording the session to share with Birhanu&#8217;s local doctor in Ethiopia. Despite initial concerns about the timing for a video conference, Birhanu agreed to transmit the footage back home.<\/p>\n<p>The 7-9 hour surgery was successfully completed, and after two weeks of recovery, Birhanu returned to Ethiopia. He now has regular check-ups every three months via video call, ensuring his ongoing health.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the expert care from Dr. Ramji and the comprehensive support from Manaaki Healthcare, Birhanu&#8217;s life has been transformed. His story is a testament to the power of quality healthcare and the dedication of those who provide it.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15944\" src=\"http:\/\/manaakihealthcare.com\/et\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-16-at-14.19.19_b43da153-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15950\" src=\"http:\/\/manaakihealthcare.com\/et\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-16-at-14.19.19_4eb0258e-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15945\" src=\"http:\/\/manaakihealthcare.com\/et\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-16-at-14.19.19_d939d630-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15946\" src=\"http:\/\/manaakihealthcare.com\/et\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-16-at-14.19.53_e5efae07-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15949\" src=\"http:\/\/manaakihealthcare.com\/et\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-16-at-14.19.18_c82d963a-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15946\" src=\"http:\/\/manaakihealthcare.com\/et\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-16-at-14.19.53_e5efae07-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Birhanu Ababa, a 39-year-old district manager for a bank, had lived with thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm for 19 years.
