I received more than just medical care I found a second family at Sakra
<p>My experience of Pulmonary Rehabilitation at Sakra World Hospital<br />
1. I have been under treatment for pulmonary problems including COPD by Dr. Sachin of Sakra for over two years. I was doing very well under his treatment. <br />
2. During Feb-Mar 2018, I had to visit NCR twice for 10 days each within a gap of 30 days. <br />
3. I visited Dr. Sachin thrice during March-April due severe coughing and breathlessness. He admitted me for close monitoring. I was discharged in three days<br />
4. I was also diagnosed with early stages of Fibrosis, in HRCT. Dr. Sachin advised treatment for Fibrosis after I regained strength and appetite. <br />
5. In addition, he suggested Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR). I could barely walk without help due to extreme breathlessness and weakness. <br />
6. As a layman, I had reservations on PR, considering it to be an ‘allied venture’ of Sakra to make money. But, due to my faith in Dr.Sachin, I registered for PR att sakra during May‘18. <br />
7. I was assigned to Komal Agrawal for rehabilitation. She was extremely professional, kind and devoted to the assigned responsibility. She designed exercises incrementally, based on my weakness and requirement. <br />
8. I attended 18 sessions, three per week during May-Jul’18. In the beginning it looked harsh but results were encouraging. Sincerity of Komal and her efforts, encouraged me to repeat exercises at home also, as my condition improved. <br />
9. By the end of my sessions, I gained four kgs in two months and could walk and look after myself on my own. I couldn’t have even imagined such improvement when I registered for PR at Sakra. <br />
10. It was a pleasant surprise for me to go through PR. It is extremely useful for patients. Without going through it, one may not appreciate its importance and usefulness. <br />
11. I am thankful to Dr. Sachin to suggest it and grateful to Komal Agrawal, to look after my rehabilitation so diligently. </p>
<p>With best wishes, <br />
