Medical travel from Kenya
Kenya has strong referral hospitals — Kenyatta National, Moi, Aga Khan — but advanced cardiac surgery, radiotherapy capacity, organ transplant and paediatric sub-specialties remain bottlenecked. Many Kenyans travel to India for treatment that is hard to schedule at home.

Common questions from Kenya patients.
Can public insurance pay for my treatment abroad?
Kenya replaced NHIF with the Social Health Authority (SHA) in 2024. Ask SHA whether your case qualifies for any overseas benefit and what referral it needs. We help prepare the medical documentation; the funding decision rests with the authority.
Which destination is best from Kenya?
India is the most common choice for cardiac, oncology, transplant and orthopaedic care — strong capacity, English-language clinical settings, and direct flights from Nairobi. We match the destination to your diagnosis and budget.
Can I use private insurance?
Some private insurers include an overseas treatment benefit on higher-tier plans — check your policy wording. We help with the pre-authorisation paperwork.
What about follow-up in Kenya?
You receive a full discharge summary and imaging on disc, and we coordinate follow-up with your referring hospital or doctor in Kenya.
