Thousands of Nigerian patients travel to India each year for specialist treatment unavailable, delayed, or expensive at home. Here's what the journey actually looks like â cost, visa, travel, and documents.
Nigeria's private hospitals cover a wide range of conditions well, but specialist procedures â complex cardiac surgery, organ transplant, advanced oncology, and certain orthopedic and neurosurgical cases â often mean long waits, limited specialist availability, or costs that rival or exceed treatment abroad. India offers advanced procedures at a fraction of Western pricing, with high-volume specialist hospitals and an established process for international patients from Nigeria specifically.
You don't need to travel to submit anything in person to start. Share your medical reports and condition details with our coordinators over WhatsApp or email, and we'll arrange a free medical opinion from a specialist in India â typically within 48 hours. From there, we coordinate your treatment plan, cost estimate, visa documentation, and travel, staying in contact with you and your family throughout.
Cost depends on the specific procedure and hospital, but cardiac surgery in India typically costs a fraction of equivalent private treatment in Nigeria or abroad in Europe or the US. We provide a written estimate after your reports are reviewed, confirmed by the treating hospital.
India issues a dedicated Medical Visa (and Medical Attendant Visa for a companion) for treatment purposes, applied for through the Indian High Commission in Abuja or the Consulate General in Lagos. We provide the hospital invitation letter needed to support your application.
You can share scanned copies of your reports, imaging, and treatment history with our coordinators via WhatsApp or email â no need to travel to submit documents in person.
Share your case and our coordinators will guide you through every step from Nigeria.
