Birhanu Ababa, a 39-year-old district manager for a bank, had lived with thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm for 19 years. Facing a 15% chance of death and a 25% chance of paralysis, he turned to Manaaki Healthcare after seeing their advertisement on Facebook.
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 – MAX Hospital in India for his endovascular surgery.
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’s local doctor in Ethiopia. Despite initial concerns about the timing for a video conference, Birhanu agreed to transmit the footage back home.
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.
Thanks to the expert care from Dr. Ramji and the comprehensive support from Manaaki Healthcare, Birhanu’s life has been transformed. His story is a testament to the power of quality healthcare and the dedication of those who provide it.
