“I walked like a 100-year-old man.”
From Africa to India, after 3 major spine surgeries, his search for the right treatment still wasn’t over.
Mr. Sulemana Ibun Idrissu, Deputy Head of Mission of Ghana in India, had been living with a severe spine condition that left him constantly bent forward. He could barely stand for more than a few minutes, and even walking had become difficult.
His treatment journey began with surgery in 2021, followed by two more surgeries. Yet, he continued to struggle.
Five months ago, he came to Delhi hoping to find a solution. He consulted at multiple places and explored options including injections, pain management and radiofrequency ablation—but his search continued.
Then, through the reference of a close friend in India, his journey brought him to Pure Ortho Hospitals, Sainikpuri, Hyderabad.
After a detailed evaluation, Dr. C. S. Sai Krishna, Spine Surgeon, and his team identified the appropriate course of treatment. Surgery was performed the very next day.
And the outcome wasn’t something that mattered only on scans or from a doctor’s perspective.
The patient himself could feel the difference.
He felt better—and started walking the very next day after surgery.
Today, he shares his experience with happiness and satisfaction. He hopes people from Africa seeking orthopaedic treatment can find the right care at Pure Ortho Hospitals without going through the prolonged struggle he experienced.
Founded by Dr. Uday Reddy, Pure Ortho Hospitals, Sainikpuri offers comprehensive orthopaedic care across spine, joint replacement, arthroscopy, trauma and rehabilitation.
