 My name is Bel Vanduna. I am from Angola. We came because of my father. He had this knee problem for quite some time. It has been now something like two years because he was feeling too much pain whenever he was walking. You know, it was touching bone to bone and then he couldn't walk properly. I got in touch with Mani Paul through a friend. We first got in touch with international people. We're trying to seek medical solution for my dad's knee. We got here. They picked us from the airport. They took us to where we actually stay in the guest house. And not only that, but on a regular basis, on an everyday basis they would like go to the guest house to pick us up, to come to Mani Paul and then they take us back there. The registration itself is quick. It doesn't take too much time of year. We're very happy with international people too. We were referred at that time to Dr. Suni Okini. He traveled all the way from Angola to India. We spoke to him first just to have an insight how the surgery was going to be, the cost and everything. So he actually told us everything we need to know. My first time was to know around three and a half weeks back in the clinic. He came to me with his son with increasing complaints of both knee pain. This pain had been going on for the past five years or so, but increased over the past one year where he noticed that even walking a few distances even within the house was increasingly painful. On examination we found that his knees had advanced osteoarthritis of both the sides. The x-rays were the same. We explained to him that the best possible treatment for this condition would be a knee replacement. The total knee replacement in this case. But it was to be noted that the patient was at a high risk because he had a cardiac surgery 14 years back. So we took all the necessary initiatives, got an echo done, got a cardiac workup and our cardiologist cleared him for surgery under necessary precautions. So we went ahead with total knee replacement. The surgery went well and the patient was able to bend his knee and walk the next day after surgery. Dr. Suni Okini was a very good doctor. We were actually very happy with him because even soon after surgery they followed us, they instructed us, you know, he's been doing physiotherapy and his walking is actually bending his knee now 90 degrees. But so far so good, we are very happy. It is to be also noted that the physiotherapy and post-op rehab is also very important in these cases and with modern day bearings of ceramic and generation implants. These knee implants can last up to 25 years without any issues. Patients can be comfortable, they can do all their normal activities including going for a swim or play double tennis. We all, as a family, me, my mother and my brothers even my father as the patient we are very happy with Dr. Suni Okini. We felt that he did a great, real great job. The patient is now about three and a half weeks post-surgery. He's doing extremely well, he's able to walk with support, the knee pain is almost next to nil and he's able to ambulate freely around in the corridor. So the totally replacement surgery is an excellent surgery and the patient satisfaction rate is more than 90%. We are very happy, I would recommend people to search to come to Manipau, whatever your medical problems are, you'll get your problems solved. www.manipau.com
