Patient travels to IU Health from Kuwait for cancer treatment
IU Health Simon Cancer Center
Atalla Almutairi is a patient with multiple myeloma who was out of treatment options in his home country of Kuwait. His doctors referred him to IU Health to get cutting-edge CAR T-cell therapy. From there IU Health's destination services team worked with Atalla to arrange everything from travel to local accommodations to appointment logistics. "Everything was perfect from the team doctors to the hospital's hospitality to the [destination services team] that brought me here."
