The Challenge: Sarah was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. She needed a PET-CT scan and advanced radiation therapy (CyberKnife) which was not readily available in her region. She needed speed and affordability.
The Solution: Pooja Health connected Sarah with a JCI-accredited cancer institute in Mumbai. We expedited her visa processing on humanitarian grounds. We also connected her with a support group of other East African patients currently treating at the same hospital.
The Outcome: Sarah successfully completed her surgery and radiation cycles. She is now in remission. The total cost, including flights and 2 months of accommodation, was less than the cost of just the surgery in South Africa.
