Indeed since our arrival it has been so exciting about the care and responsibility of the Ginger company,they exhibit that sense of family care and best treatment that has made to always feel at home. We can attest to that spirit of cooperation and collaboration among all team members especially on critical days of surgery. The display of love is beyond measure.They ensured that our accommodation and food have been well taken care of. Special mention goes to our interpreter Mr Faizan, he has been so amazing and supportive ,is so understanding that he made all movements so smooth to and fro the hospital. Our relationship with him is like a family brother. He ensured our safety and kept us on our toes as to how,what,why,when,etc we have to go about our daily lives.Myself and my daughter thank you so much. His other team players were so supportive that you can see that spirit of teamwork, thank you all team members To top it all we were privileged to have been visited by the head of the company,Mr Abdul.l was so happy to see his level of leadership,humility, integrity, responsibility and intelligence. It resonates with his persona.We are very grateful Mr Abdul.
