PNG Patient’s Heart Bypass Surgery in India

When it comes to complex heart surgery, timing and expertise are everything. For Mr. Yakub Pinpin, a 66-year-old from Papua New Guinea (PNG), the journey to a healthier heart required traveling over 8,000 miles to India.

Today, we are sharing his successful recovery story to help other international patients understand what to expect when choosing India for Cardiac Sciences.

Patient Details

• Name: Mr. Yakub Pinpin
• Country: Papua New Guinea
• Age: 66 Years
• Sex: Male
• Procedure: Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
• Hospital: Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon
• Doctor: Dr. Biswarup Purkayastha

Medical Background

At 66, Mr. Yakub was diagnosed with significant coronary artery blockages that required a CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting), commonly known as heart bypass surgery. Given the complexity of the procedure and the need for advanced post-operative monitoring, Mr. Yakub and his family looked beyond PNG to find a destination that combined world-class surgical precision with affordable care.

For many patients in the Pacific Islands, India has become the preferred choice for cardiac care, offering the same JCI-standard technology found in Australia at a significantly lower cost.

Arrival and Consultation in India

Upon arrival in India, our coordinators assisted Mr. Pinpin with airport pickup, hospital admission, and initial formalities. At Artemis Hospital, he underwent a detailed cardiac evaluation.

After reviewing his reports, Dr. Biswarup Purkayastha recommended CABG surgery and clearly explained the procedure, recovery process, and expected outcomes. This helped Mr. Pinpin feel confident and prepared for the surgery.

Surgery and Hospital Stay

The coronary artery bypass surgery was performed successfully by Dr. Purkayastha and his cardiac team. The procedure helped restore adequate blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of further complications.

Following surgery, Mr. Pinpin was closely monitored in the intensive care unit and later shifted to a regular room. He received post-operative care, medication management, and gradual mobilization under medical supervision.

Recovery in India

Mr. Pinpin stayed in India for approximately three weeks, allowing sufficient time for recovery and follow-up care. During this period, he showed steady improvement in strength, breathing, and overall comfort.

Our team remained in regular contact with him during his stay, assisting with follow-up appointments, local arrangements, and any support he required before returning home.

Patient Experience

Before returning to Papua New Guinea, Mr. Pinpin shared his feedback:

“The treatment and care I received in India were excellent. Dr. Biswarup and the team explained everything clearly, and I felt supported throughout my stay. I am thankful for the help I received in arranging my treatment here.”
