Mr. Murat Turkmen, a 57-year-old from Turkey, had been living with chronic back pain for over 30 years and breathing difficulties for two decades. After exploring treatment options in his home country without lasting relief, he turned to India in search of advanced spine care. What followed was a journey of clarity, expert care, and renewed hope.
These long-standing health problems had taken a serious toll on his daily life. Though he had access to medical care in Turkey, he felt that the treatment options lacked the advanced technology and expertise needed to properly address his condition.Frustrated by years of discomfort and unclear answers, Mr. Murat began looking for better solutions abroad. He wanted clarity, modern treatment, and a team that would listen and guide him with care.
That's when his wife started to look out for his treatment overseas and got in touch with HOSPIDIO.
What immediately stood out was the clarity and honesty in the way the team responded to all their questions. They had many concerns about Mr. Murat’s condition and the treatment process, especially since he only spoke Russian and Turkish. The family was worried about how he would manage communication during his time in India, as he was planning to travel alone. HOSPIDIO quickly addressed these concerns by assuring them that round-the-clock interpretation support would be available. They made it clear that there would be no language barriers or delays in communication at any stage of his treatment. This transparency and care gave the family confidence, and Mr. Murat felt more at ease knowing he would be understood and supported throughout his journey.
Smooth Transition from Turkey to India
Mr. Murat’s trip from Turkey to India was carefully planned with support at every step. Traveling alone to a new country can be stressful, but he felt reassured by the assistance provided throughout.
With help from HOSPIDIO, the following were arranged:
- Visa processing and flight coordination
- Airport pickup and hotel accommodation
- Pre-scheduled hospital consultations
- Interpreter support to assist with communication
From his arrival at the airport to his visits to the hospital, Mr. Murat was guided and supported by the team. Even though he came alone, he felt well cared for and never left to manage things by himself. The consistent help made his medical journey easier and more comfortable.
Expert Evaluation, Comprehensive Care, and a Safe Recovery
When Mr. Murat arrived in India, he was not only dealing with long-term back pain but also struggling with breathing issues and sleep difficulties. What began as a consultation for spine problems turned into a full medical evaluation. The doctors at Sharda Care - HealthCity took a careful, step-by-step approach to understand all of his concerns.
A complete assessment was carried out by a team that included a spine surgeon, ENT specialist, and pulmonary expert. This 360-degree review helped identify not just spinal compression, but also sleep apnea and respiratory challenges that had gone undiagnosed for years. After proper evaluation and medical management of his breathing issues, he was safely cleared for surgery.
His main treatment was led by Dr. Ravindra Srivastava, a senior consultant in neurosurgery with over two decades of experience. Dr. Srivastava took time to explain the diagnosis and the procedure, helping Mr. Murat feel prepared and confident. The team decided on spinal decompression and fixation, a procedure meant to relieve the pressure on his spine and improve movement and breathing.
The surgery went smoothly. Both the hospital and HOSPIDIO teams worked closely to ensure every detail was taken care of, from pre-operative steps to post-surgery care.
Mr. Murat started feeling better soon after the procedure. His back pain reduced, and his breathing became easier. The follow-up care was well-managed. HOSPIDIO continued to assist with recovery, regular check-ups, and travel planning for his return home.
He and his family expressed deep satisfaction with the outcome. After living with pain and discomfort for decades, Mr. Murat finally found relief and the support he needed to start a new chapter.
Towards the end of his treatment, Mr. Murat's wife expressed her gratitude for the team:
"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the entire Hospidio and hospital team for their excellent care, professionalism, and kindness during my husband Murat’s treatment. A special thank you to Dr. Ravindra Srivastava — his expertise, confidence, and compassionate approach brought us great comfort during a very difficult time. The surgery was successful thanks to the coordinated work of the entire surgical team. The medical staff were patient, attentive, and always ready to help. We felt supported at every stage — from the preparation for surgery to the beginning of rehabilitation. We sincerely recommend Hospidio, Sharda hospital, the Doktor, and the whole Team to anyone looking for high-quality medical care, professionalism, and genuine compassion."
