A Votualevu sugarcane farmer is grateful to Fiji’s largest state-of-the-art 130-bed specialty private hospital for giving him a renewed lease of life following a triple graft heart bypass surgery last month.
Davendra Singh, 55, of Holika Road in the interiors of Nadi received a world-class medical treatment led by award-winning cardiothoracic surgeon Dr Sanjeev Khulbey and his team of highly trained professionals at Pacific Specialist Healthcare (PSH Hospitals).
He had been complaining about shoulder and back pain for quite some time following which he visited a specialist for various tests and an angiogram.
“I was scheduled for a short holiday in New Zealand just before Christmas and therefore delayed my visit to a specialist until my return from holiday in January,” Mr Singh informed.
He said at first he thought the shoulder and back pains were a result of his waking up at 4am to visit his sugarcane farm daily for routine work.
“Looking after a farm is not an easy thing especially when you have a full-time job outside as well. I had no other serious symptoms like chest pains and never thought I would have a heart problem,” Mr Singh added.
“After going through the treadmill test, echo and angiogram, the cardiologist told me that I have blockages in my heart and a bypass surgery is mandatory and referred me to PSH Hospitals.”
Mr Singh said he was lucky to have medical insurance cover and all paperwork and necessary arrangements were taken care of by BSP Life within three-days.
“I am so thankful that everything went so well for my operation and I was treated by the best team available locally without having to go to India or any other destination overseas. A big thanks to BSP Life and PSH Hospitals for the wonderful services.”
