A medical relay spanning three countries has brought a ray of hope for recovery to Bangladeshi woman Fatima, who was plagued by illness, at Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital. Suffering from IgA nephropathy compounded by over a dozen complications, she had sought treatment in multiple countries without success, and ultimately regained her health here through multidisciplinary team (MDT) consultation.

The patient has now improved and been discharged, and she and her family specially expressed sincere gratitude to the international medical team.

PART 01

A Hopeful Journey 

After Failed Treatments Across Multiple Countries

Nine months ago, Bangladeshi patient Fatima was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy. For four months, she endured lower limb edema and widespread body pain, seeking treatment at multiple hospitals in Saudi Arabia, India, and Bangladesh, with unsatisfactory results. Recurrent symptoms such as skin ulcers and persistent pain severely diminished her quality of life.

The turning point came when her family learned about Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital's multidisciplinary treatment model. Through the hospital's international department, they quickly connected with the medical team, embarking on this cross-border medical journey.

One-Stop Care & Multidisciplinary Precision

The international medical team at Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital initiated full-process navigation services for Fatima and rapidly assembled experts from rheumatology and immunology, dermatology, pain management, neurology, and other disciplines to form an international MDT team. The experts integrated her previous overseas medical records with the latest examination results to clarify the diagnosis: IgA nephropathy with crescentic formation, vasculitis, neuropathic pain, and over a dozen overlapping conditions. This provided a clear "roadmap" for subsequent treatment.

Integrated Medicine & Compassionate Care

The medical team tailored a comprehensive treatment plan for her. Remarkably, traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture played a key role in the process—within just 5 minutes, the pain that had plagued her for months essentially disappeared. Her husband, witnessing this firsthand, was deeply impressed and immediately decided to experience acupuncture therapy himself.

After systematic treatment, Fatima's condition improved markedly: pain alleviated, ulcers healed, edema subsided, and her mental state and sleep quality significantly enhanced. Upon discharge, the medical team developed a detailed rehabilitation plan for her, including dietary guidance, medication protocols, and follow-up schedules.

"From airport pickup and translation services to the professionalism and patience of every medical staff member during hospitalization, every detail was impeccable," Fatima's family said emotionally. "The experience at Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital completely exceeded our expectations. It not only features advanced technology but also delivers international-level humanistic care filled with warmth."
