How it works for Nigerian patients

One coordinated pathway, from your reports to your discharge

Nigerian patients and their families look to India for cancer care, cardiac surgery, kidney and liver transplant, and orthopaedic and spine procedures. Our approach is to reduce risk: a specialist reviews your reports before you book flights, and the cost and plan are confirmed in writing first.

Tele-consultation first

Share your reports and an Indian specialist reviews them before you commit to travel. For many patients this saves a trip.

Predictable costs

Estimates are issued in USD and itemised, so naira movements do not change the price you agreed. The table below shows approximate naira figures for planning.

Support on the ground

Airport pickup, accommodation near the hospital, interpreters where needed and a coordinator who stays reachable throughout.

Visa, travel and practical details

What to plan before you leave Nigeria

Visa route

We arrange the hospital invitation letter and Medical Reference Number. Eligible nationalities apply online for the e-Medical Visa; we confirm that your passport qualifies and which route applies before you apply. Allow extra time, as travel from West Africa is long.

Getting there

Most itineraries have one stop through Gulf or East African hubs. Apply for the visa as soon as your treatment plan is confirmed, and book flights only once the visa is issued.

Language

Care and coordination are in English.

Payments

Ask your bank early about foreign-exchange rules for medical payments. We provide the written estimate, hospital letter and invoices it will need.

Visa rules and appointment availability change. This page is general guidance, not immigration advice — confirm current requirements with official sources and your case manager. See our full medical visa guide.

Frequently asked

Questions from Nigerian patients and families

Can Nigerian patients get treatment in India?

Yes. You need a medical-category Indian visa and a hospital invitation letter. We prepare the documents; the Indian authorities decide the visa.

Can I get an opinion before I travel?

Yes. Send your reports and a hospital specialist will review them by video or in writing, so you know the plan and the cost before booking flights.

How long will I stay?

It depends on the treatment. Surgeries often need two to three weeks including recovery, while some treatments are shorter. Your written plan gives the expected duration.

How do naira changes affect cost?

Estimates are fixed in USD, so you know the amount in advance. Your bank sets the naira conversion when you pay.

Which treatments are most requested?

Oncology, cardiac surgery, transplant, orthopaedics and spine surgery are among the most common. See our specialties for indicative costs.
