In Mrs. Nazgul Anikeeva's Own Words

I am 53 years old, from Kyrgyzstan, and I had always been the heart of my family — until I was diagnosed with kidney failure. The news was devastating for all of us; without a transplant, my time was limited. My younger sister Sutlana stepped forward without hesitation to be tested as a donor, and she was a perfect match. But a kidney transplant is costly, and my family began saving and reaching out to everyone we knew for support.

While searching online for the best treatment plans, we came across Forerunners Healthcare. Their case manager reviewed my medical reports carefully and connected us with Dr. Manju Aggarwal, one of the top kidney transplant surgeons, at Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon. The team handled our visa process quickly, and once we arrived in India we were warmly welcomed and guided through every evaluation and test. The transplant was performed successfully, and I received a healthy kidney from my sister. We are both recovering well, and I am deeply grateful to the entire Forerunners team for making this journey possible.
