Marengo CIMS Hospital and Chandra Knee Clinic have given a new lease of life to 90-year-old Canadian citizen Mrs. Kanchanben Dave, who travelled all the way to India in pursuit of walking pain-free once again. Despite her advanced age, her determination and resilience brought her to Ahmedabad for specialised orthopedic care.

Mrs. Dave was admitted on 14th August 2025 under the expert care of Dr. K.C. Mehta, Chief Knee Surgeon at Chandra Knee Clinic and Director – Orthopedics & Joint Replacement Surgery at Marengo CIMS Hospital.

She underwent surgery the following day, 15th August 2025. With careful planning, advanced surgical expertise, and compassionate care, she recovered quickly. By 18th August 2025, she was discharged, walking confidently and regaining the independence she had lost over the years due to chronic knee pain.

Expressing her gratitude, Mrs. Dave appreciated the warmth, positivity, and continuous support provided by Dr. Mehta and the entire Chandra Knee Clinic team throughout her treatment.

Dr. K.C. Mehta reflected on her recovery, saying, “Mrs. Dave shows that age is not a barrier. When the desire for a better quality of life is strong, medical expertise combined with compassionate care can achieve outcomes that seem difficult. Seeing her walk confidently at 90 years old is the true reward of our work.”

At Marengo Asia Hospitals, we continue to deliver world-class orthopaedic care with expertise in joint replacement surgery. Mrs. Dave’s recovery demonstrates our ability to provide effective care even in complex cases.
