Posted by If your thyroid levels are either high or low, it does become a matter of concern. Proper functioning of the thyroid gland is essential as it regulates the metabolism. Also, normal levels of thyroid secretion ensures normal functioning of our breath, heart rate, cholesterol, body weight, muscle weight and many other vital body processes.
But it was not so for young Paing Zwe latt Naing from Myanmar. He could feel something heavy near his neck i.e. where the thyroid gland is located. He was not able to gain weight and hence did not feel normal or young. After living in this condition for quite some time, he and his father approached Help to Heal foundation enquiring about the treatment for his medical issues.
Namrata B, our patient coordinator got in touch with him to know more about his medical condition. She forwarded to his reports to Dr. P S. Lamba of the Fortis Hospital, Mumbai which she received through email. Dr. Lamba suggested that they visit him personally in India after reviewing his reports. He would be required to undergo some medical tests and investigations. Both the patient and his father agreed to visit India and hence Ms. Namrata processed their vista invitation letter, medical e-vias, and travel tickets and so on.
Finally, they arrived in India on July 23, 2019 and underwent thorough medical investigations along with a personal appointment with Dr. Lamba who prescribed him medicines to be taken for a lifetime. Post their consultation, they departed for Mynamar in the 1st week of August 2019, thanking Ms. Namrata for her help and guidance in seeking the right line of treatment in Mumbai.
Ms. Namrata did a follow-up call after a couple of months and received that Ms. Paing was feeling better and healthy too.
