From Kenya to India – Life-Saving Cardiac Treatment Story
Discover how a patient from Kenya underwent successful bypass surgery in India
Every year, thousands of international patients travel to India seeking affordable and advanced healthcare. Among them are many from Africa, where access to specialized treatments can be limited or costly. One such story is that of a patient from Kenya whose journey to India for cardiac surgery not only saved his life but also highlighted why India has become a global hub for medical tourism.
The Patient’s Journey
Mr. Joseph, a 54-year-old businessman from Nairobi, was diagnosed with severe coronary artery disease. Local doctors recommended bypass surgery, but due to long waiting times and high costs, his family began looking for alternatives abroad.
India quickly emerged as the preferred destination. After comparing options, Joseph’s family reached out to a cardiac hospital in New Delhi through The Medical India network. Within a week, they had all the arrangements—doctor consultations, cost estimates, visa assistance, and travel coordination.
