A London teacher left unable to walk or talk after suffering a sudden brain haemorrhage has been driven over 1,000 miles to Hungary for specialist treatment following what her family describe as a "nightmare" experience with the NHS.
Anna Chithrakala, a 45-year-old English teacher and palliative carer, collapsed while on a walk in December, losing her ability to speak. Rushed to hospital, she underwent six hours of brain surgery for a major bleed and was diagnosed with a stroke. The stroke left her unable to walk, talk, or move the right side of her body.
