WHY INDIA • VERIFIED NATIONAL CONTEXT
India is already a treatment destination for patients from Africa.
Official 2025 medical-arrival figures include substantial patient travel from Somalia and Kenya. This is government tourism data — not a claim about Blue Crescent's patient volumes or clinical outcomes.
11,506Medical-purpose arrivals from Somalia in 2025
9,357Medical-purpose arrivals from Kenya in 2025
WHAT MAKES THIS JOURNEY EASIER
Less uncertainty before you book a flight.
You do not need to know which hospital to approach or how to organise every step. Our role is to coordinate enquiries and help you ask the right questions while treating doctors remain responsible for clinical decisions.
Compare the right information
Understand which hospital team may assess your case, proposed tests, estimated admission needs and the limits of a preliminary cost quote.
Plan for your family
Ask about attendants, nearby accommodation and the length of stay you may need, rather than planning around treatment alone.
Know what you may pay
Request an itemised hospital estimate and identify travel costs separately. We explain when eligible coordination is not charged independently.
Language support
English-language coordination enquiries are available. Other interpreter languages are subject to availability and written confirmation.
Stay in touch after discharge
Ask how to organise hospital follow-up, discharge documents and questions that arise after you return home.
Not sure which specialty to contact?
Start with the latest reports you already have. We can help route a non-urgent enquiry to an appropriate hospital team.
COUNTRIES WE WELCOME
Built for patients across Africa.
Whether you are enquiring from Nairobi, Lagos, Mogadishu, Addis Ababa, Kampala, Dar es Salaam, Accra, Khartoum or elsewhere, our English-speaking coordination team can help clarify the next step.
These regions are outreach priorities, not a claimed ranking of medical travellers. Eligibility, documents and visa routes vary by passport and place of application.
Where demand comes from
India’s official 2024 tourism compendium reports substantial medical-purpose travel from several African countries. We use that evidence to inform outreach, not to promise visas or imply all countries have identical travel rules. Government source ↗

DECIDE WITH CONFIDENCE
Questions worth asking any hospital.
Before you choose a hospital, compare the information behind the estimate — not only its headline price.
Clinical reviewWhich department or specialist team would review my reports? Is an in-person evaluation needed first?
Estimated planWhich tests, procedures and possible alternatives are being considered? Who makes the final decision?
Written quoteWhat is included or excluded: procedure, implant, ICU, medicines, tests, room and complications?
Length of stayHow many days might be required for admission, recovery and reassessment? Could that change?
Follow-upWhat discharge documents and follow-up plan should I take home?
BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Start a guided enquiry ↗
A written plan makes conversations clearer.
Request hospital guidance in writing, and verify payment instructions directly with the hospital. An initial estimate is not a final invoice and does not guarantee treatment suitability.
Start a guided enquiry ↗ PRE-TRAVEL OPTION
Ask about a video consultation before your flight.
Depending on the hospital and specialist's availability, a remotely coordinated consultation may help clarify clinical questions or identify additional records needed before travelling. Video appointments are not appropriate for emergencies and are not guaranteed.
- Ask what documents the specialist needs first
- Clarify whether further tests may be needed in India
- Discuss the role of a medical interpreter if available
- Ask how consultation fees and appointment confirmation work
BEFORE YOU FLY
Medical visa & arrival guidance.
Indian medical entry requirements depend on your nationality and where you apply. We can coordinate a hospital enquiry for an invitation letter where appropriate; visa issuance is always an official government decision.
- Check the latest e-Medical or regular medical visa route for your passport.
- Hospital letter may be needed, with treatment/admission details and applicant information.
- Consider medical attendant visa needs and each traveller’s passport.
- Confirm entry rules, vaccinations, e-Arrival card requirements, travel insurance and air travel suitability.
- Keep emergency contacts and hospital appointment details accessible.
India’s official visa portal ↗

IMPORTANT COUNTRY CHECKS
Visa rules depend on your nationality, not just where you live.
- Use the official Indian visa website to confirm the eligible route for your passport and purpose of travel.
- Hospital letters can be requested where required; issuance, timing and content depend on the hospital.
- Attendant visas and the number of attendants follow the rules of the applicable visa route.
- Travellers arriving from certain yellow-fever-risk countries may need an original valid vaccination certificate; check the official current list.
- Somali passport holders should review the current Indian Embassy medical visa guidance before making payments or travel arrangements.
COST TRANSPARENCY
Understand the budget before booking.
There is no single reliable price for “treatment in India.” Hospitals assess cases individually, and quotations can change after examinations or admission.
❤
Hospital & specialist fees
Consultation, diagnostic tests, procedure, ICU/ward stay, medication and follow-up; request an itemised hospital quote.
🧬
Travel and everyday expenses
Visa charges, flights, accommodation, meals, transfers, companions and local expenses.
🧠
Unexpected changes
Length of stay, extra diagnostics, complications and exchange rates can change the final total. Set aside contingency funds.
Our coordination-fee policy
For eligible cases managed through a participating hospital arrangement, we do not charge a separate coordination or medical interpretation fee. Blue Crescent may be compensated by hospitals for eligible referrals; this does not determine clinical decisions.
Patients pay their independent hospital and third-party expenses. Services, discounts, interpreter availability and fees must be confirmed in writing for each case.
Never send money to an unverified personal account. Confirm hospital payment details directly with the hospital before transferring funds.
Ask for a written estimate ↗ TRAVEL BUDGET WORKSHEET
Plan the full journey, not just the procedure.
Use your own quotations in USD to understand total estimated out-of-pocket costs. These are not Blue Crescent prices or hospital quotations; the tool performs arithmetic on figures you enter.

Request the breakdown in writing.
Ask the hospital for its estimate first. Then independently plan flights, nearby accommodation, companions, visa costs, meals and a contingency amount.
Coordination-fee transparency
For eligible cases with participating hospitals, our patient coordination and medical interpretation have no separate charge to the patient. Hospitals may compensate us for eligible referrals. Always confirm the arrangement for your case.
Safe hospital payments

GOOD QUESTIONS, CLEAR ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions.
Practical answers for patients and travelling families from across the African continent.
Can I contact you before buying flight tickets?
Yes. Contact us before making non-refundable bookings. We can help request hospital review and a written estimate, subject to the hospital’s response.
Are all coordination and interpreter services free?
For eligible journeys arranged through participating hospitals, Blue Crescent does not charge a separate medical coordination or interpretation fee. Hospital costs, tests, medicines, visa fees, flights, accommodation and other third-party charges remain payable. Ask us to confirm the arrangement for your case.
Can I send MRI, CT, laboratory and pathology reports?
Yes. Use the secure medical-report intake form. Upload only reports you are comfortable sharing and provide the required consent. Avoid posting sensitive reports in public comments.
Can you guarantee a successful treatment or visa?
No. Doctors decide clinical options after evaluating the case; embassy or immigration authorities decide visas. We do not guarantee appointments, recovery, surgery outcomes, visa approval or fixed prices.
Can a family member travel with the patient?
Often, yes, subject to the relevant visa category and current nationality-specific rules. We can help you ask about hospital letters for an attendant; approval is not guaranteed.
Can you arrange French, Arabic, Somali or Swahili interpretation?
English coordination is available. Other languages may be arranged depending on interpreter availability, hospital requirements and confirmation before booking.
Can patients from countries not listed contact you?
Yes. Select “Other African country” and tell us where you are applying from. We will review available hospital coordination options; visa eligibility must be checked with the official Indian authorities.
Do you handle emergency medical evacuations?
We are not an emergency or ambulance service. In a medical emergency, contact local emergency care first. International transfer, if appropriate, requires approval by treating clinicians and relevant authorities.
ANSWERS FOR INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES
What families often ask us.
Do I need to travel before a hospital reviews my case?
Not always. You can request initial information and share available records before travel, subject to the hospital's review process. A remote review may still be insufficient to decide on treatment.
Can I choose a hospital instead of accepting one suggestion?
Yes. You can ask why a hospital or specialty team might be relevant and request clarity on written estimates. Availability varies and some cases need an in-person evaluation.
Will I need additional tests in India?
Possibly. Preliminary plans may change after the specialist sees you or repeats investigations to verify a diagnosis and treatment options.
Can Blue Crescent arrange a medical attendant?
We can help you understand travel-planning questions for a companion. Immigration rules and hospital policies determine what is allowed; check current official guidance.
Can I book a hotel near the hospital?
Accommodation assistance can be discussed during planning. Ask for proximity, accessibility, room arrangements and cancellation terms before paying.
Is an estimated price the final hospital bill?
No. It depends on the final clinical plan, diagnostics, admission length and other medical costs. Request an itemised written estimate and expected exclusions.
What if my case is urgent?
Seek urgent medical care where you are. This service is not an emergency dispatch, telemedicine emergency diagnosis or medical evacuation service.
Can you guarantee that my visa will be issued?
No. Indian embassies and immigration authorities decide visa eligibility and approvals. Always check the official government portal for your passport and itinerary.
