Treatment first, then recovery
Guests from Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia and francophone Africa often travel to our partner hospitals in Delhi NCR for surgery or specialist care. Once the treating doctor gives written clearance, a recovery stay near the hospital, or in Kerala, lets the patient rest before the flight home.
Attendants — the family members who care for patients through treatment — often need rest as much as anyone. We can arrange yoga, massage and consultations for them close to the hospital.
Getting here
There are direct flights from Nairobi, Addis Ababa and other hubs to Mumbai and Delhi, and many one-stop routes via the Gulf. See our country guides for Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania, and the medical visa guides for your country.

Questions guests ask
Can I add a wellness stay to my medical trip?
Yes, after your treating doctor gives written clearance. Your medical coordinator and wellness concierge plan both together.
Which visa covers a recovery stay?
If your main purpose is medical treatment you would normally travel on a medical visa. Ask your coordinator how the recovery stay fits within it.
