Masimba Adegoke Praises Dr. Mohamed Rela for Life-Saving Liver Transplant

I am Masimba Adegoke from Zimbabwe; my liver transplant took place on January 12, 2019. Aside from the date of my birth, it's the most important day of my life. Immediately following my transplant I felt I was the luckiest man in Zimbabwe. Months later I still felt I was nationally ranked. This story is about my illness, the transplant experience, and my recovery.

Eight years ago, my family doctor noticed I was suffering from ascites, the accumulation of fluid in my body core, most likely a result of a malfunctioning liver. It was not adequately filtering my bodily fluids and blood. He suggested having my esophagus "scoped" to determine if pressure was building in my veins. I ignored his advice and life went on, sort of. That was until the day I passed out. The message was clear. I had a serious liver problem.

I went to a highly reputable hospital in Zimbabwe, my home country, but my disease continued to progress. My condition continued to worsen as my liver function deteriorated.  Finally the doctors at the Zimbabwe hospital decided I had NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepititis). In spite of their diagnosis, I was not happy with my care or the level of service. One day a friend of mine stopped by, he told me the he thought I was quite ill - no joke. My friend suggested me to look for options out of Zimbabwe and suggested India, since the medical arrangement is not so developed in Zimbabwe; patients prefer to travel overseas for medical management. With India emerging as one of the greatest and predominant medical tourism hubs of the world, just like sufferers from other countries, patients from Zimbabwe also can now manage to pay for numerous treatments and have now began clustering to India for all health related issues. That’s when I started my search for liver transplant surgery in India at best price with best surgeon for liver transplants surgery in India, the name that flashed on the top of Google was Dr. Mohamed Rela is the best liver surgeon in India To my joy, things progressed very smoothly, and I was on my way to India to meet my doctor Dr. Mohamed Rela. But immediately I was added to the transplant list. That in itself was cause for celebration. I was determined to hang in there until my number came up.

On meeting my surgeon at best hospital in India for liver transplant Rela Institute and Medical Center, Chennai his hospital is one of the pioneering healthcare service providers in India with the most cutting-edge treatment infrastructure readily available at the disposal of the countless patients visiting from not only India but also other nations. The transplant team discussed my options, including a living donor transplant in which a partial liver would be donated by a living person, most often a close relative. I didn't have to wait that long. A week later, the phone rang at 1:30am. The nighttime coordinator asked if I could be in India. I said yes, of course. She said, "We have a liver for you." Words cannot express my joy in hearing that. It is still hard for me to believe. I become very emotional every time I relive the conversation.

The surgery was flawless and my recovery time was fast, I left the hospital five days later, determined go right back to work. But Dr. Mohamed Rela got me to relax, and urged me to wait until I was feeling closer to 100 percent. In four weeks, I was back with my kids, doing what I love most. I am indebted to all the staff members at best hospital in India for liver transplant, who without exception were professional, compassionate and kind. I thank my surgeon Dr. Mohamed Rela who offered liver transplant surgery in India at best price. And, of course, a special thanks to my family.”
