 My name is Kelvin Mangisa, I come from Malawi. My reason for coming for treatment here is my knees. I had problems with my knees. I was told the cartridges were almost worn out. I've had this problem for the past six years, but I think the last eight months it was so bad. It was painful, excruciating pain at times because it's like the bones were grinding to each other. Through Mazzim, which is a medical aid society of Malawi, they managed to negotiate or talk to the management of Manipo hospitals here in India. And all the arrangements were made. From the time I was admitted and from the time I went for surgery, I was taken care by Dr. Lakesh Verapa. When he came to us, he could barely take a few steps. So then we saw his x-rays and we found that he had severe osteoarthritis of the knees. Basically it means totally worn out knees. And the knees were in the shape of a bow. What we call as bow legs. So we suggested knee replacement surgery for him and he agreed to that and he underwent knee replacement surgery. And it's really very nice to see him walking totally pain free, comfortably and absolutely effortlessly. So we actually made him walk the very next day. We did bilateral knee replacement on the same day and we made him walk the very next day. The next day we made him bend his knees, go to the bathroom and take a few steps outside. And by the end of the discharge, at the end of seven days, he was about walking around in the corridor about 100-200 meters 3-4 times a day. Pain free, very comfortable. So it's very endearing for us to watch these patients do so well after knee replacement surgery. And I've always told that knee replacement surgery is one of the most fulfilling surgeries both for the surgeon and the patient because we feel a dramatic improvement in the patient's lifestyle, his walking, his capabilities, his horizon expanse. Basically, he can visit a market, go out for a walk, go for a drive, he can play a game of golf. So that's the advantage. So when we can improve the lifestyle of these people, it is very encouraging and I would suggest knee replacement as a very good surgical procedure which can change people's lives dramatically. I would recommend because the care is immense, the people are very friendly, they listen to your problem and they handle your problem. The other thing that I have found out is that I think this is one of the few hospitals which has a lot of technology. They have a lot of machines which they use to check on you what your problems are before even they cut your skin. I was well received, I must say, and had the operation which was very, very successful. I have been in hospital since then. I've been getting all the medication, necessary medication, medicines to stop the pain, medicines to cure and medicines to make sure that I'm comfortable. This is one of the best hospitals. You won't go wrong to come here, they are very friendly, you feel like you're at home. I came alone, I didn't come with anybody to look after me but I felt like I was at home. The people here were like my relations. Anything I asked, nobody complained, nobody looked at, they were worried about my requirements or whatever, they were prepared to save me. Day in, day out, 24 hours. So I really thank them.
