No waiting time

Some patients prefer to travel for cancer treatment in India to get out of pain or to halt a deteriorating condition quickly. They choose this rather than to suffer the anxiety and frustration of waiting for a far-future appointment and other medical uncertainties in Kenya.

High quality service

India offers some of the best medical treatment in the world. As a matter of fact, it’s private hospitals have an excellent reputation. India’s health care sector has also sustained an enormous boom in recent years.

The country is now a global health destination. For instance, medical tourism is growing by 30 per cent each year.

Private hospitals offer VIP waiting lounges, deluxe hospital suites and staffed recuperation resorts. Additionally, free transport to and from airports, low-cost meal plans and accommodation for companions and in addition to that, discounted hotels affiliated with the hospitals.

Excluded treatments

Although health insurance policies vary according to the underwriter and individuals, certain plans may exclude a variety of treatments.

These excluded treatments may include:

  • Cosmetic surgeries
  • Reproductive/infertility procedures
  • Certain non- emergency cardiovascular and orthopedic surgeries
  • Weight loss programs, substance abuse rehabilitation
  • Prosthetics
  • Congenital disorders
  • Chronic and pre-existing conditions etc.

Ideally, such services might be expensive locally, therefore, the patient or their family may opt to seek treatment in India.

Latest medical technology

Lack of medical expertise or the facilities to handle various medical conditions necessitates medical tourism in Kenya.

Hospitals in India have advanced technology and improved medical investigations, in addition to diagnosis and treatment of diseases which were once considered not treatable.

Cost-effective treatment

Most importantly, the reason why Kenyans travel for cancer treatment in India is the opportunity to not only save money but also get quality treatment.

Depending on the type of treatment, uninsured and under–insured patients, as well as those seeking elective care, can make considerable savings in India over the cost of treatment locally.

Travel Opportunity

We all love to travel! Simply being in a new and interesting culture is a good distraction to for any patient.

Overseas travel can be a life-changing experience. Consequently, one gets to experience different cultural practices along the way.

Specialty Treatment

Some procedures and prescriptions may not be allowed or available in Kenya.  Such treatments e.g stem cell therapy or certain organ transplants are often offered abroad.
