Treated by Dr. Simon Thomas , Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh

Country: Liberia

Mrs Shira from Liberia arrived in India with severe hip pain, unable to walk and dependent on a wheelchair. In this inspiring patient journey, Dr Simon Thomas, Senior Director – Robotic Joint Replacements & Orthopaedics at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, shares how a carefully planned hip replacement helped her regain mobility. With a clear goal of returning home on her feet, she underwent successful surgery. The procedure was smooth, recovery was rapid, and her pain resolved completely. Within just a few days, she was walking confidently again. Her journey demonstrates how advanced joint replacement surgery can restore independence and quality of life, even for international patients travelling abroad for specialised care.
