About the Patient
Ms Sada, an international patient from Yemen, suffered from severe bilateral knee osteoarthritis, which left her bedridden until she could walk due to severe pain and limited mobility.
For advanced treatment, she travelled to India and visited Medicover Hospitals in Bangalore, where she consulted Dr Sanjay Prasad Hegde, Senior Consultant, Orthopaedic, Joint Replacement, Sports Medicine & Arthroscopy.
After a thorough evaluation, Dr Hegde recommended a bilateral total knee replacement to restore joint function and help her return to independent mobility.
The procedure was successfully performed, and today she is walking again - regaining control of her life with confidence.
In the patient's own words
"I came to Medicover Hospitals, Bangalore, with severe knee pain in both legs, and I was completely bedridden.
After meeting Dr Sanjay Prasad Hegde, he suggested a bilateral total knee replacement. The surgery went very well, and today I can walk again and move independently.
I am very grateful to Dr Hegde and the entire Medicover team for their excellent care, support and kindness throughout my treatment journey. I now have a new hope in life. - Ms Saadah, Yemen
