Medical Tourism Company for Nigerian Patients Seeking Treatment in India

The right company is the one that is transparent about hospitals, costs and what it will and will not do. Look for written estimates, named partner hospitals, a coordinator you can reach on WhatsApp, and no pressure to book. HealthRoop works with accredited Indian hospitals and supports Nigerian patients from the first report review to follow-up after they return home.

You share your medical reports, a specialist reviews them, and you receive a treatment opinion with a written cost estimate. After you choose a hospital and dates, the hospital issues an invitation letter for your medical visa. The coordinator then helps with flights, stay, airport transfers, hospital admission and post-treatment follow-up.

Patients travelling for treatment normally need a medical visa, and a medical attendant visa is usually available for accompanying family members. Eligibility for the e-Medical visa, fees and processing times can change, so confirm current requirements on the official Indian visa portal or with the High Commission of India in Abuja or the Consulate General in Lagos. We prepare the hospital letter and the document checklist.

India has generally asked travellers arriving from countries with yellow fever risk, which includes Nigeria, to show a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. Without it, travellers can be placed in quarantine on arrival. Get vaccinated at least ten days before you fly, carry the certificate with your passport, and confirm the current rule with the Indian mission before booking.

Most journeys from Lagos or Abuja to India involve one connection, commonly through Addis Ababa, Doha, Dubai or Nairobi, and take roughly 10 to 14 hours in total depending on the route and layover. Direct options are limited and schedules change, so check with airlines when you fix your treatment dates. For patients who need extra care in transit, we can plan wheelchair assistance and a comfortable connection.

Yes. Most patients start with a remote review. You send reports, scans and your treatment history, and an Indian specialist gives an opinion on the diagnosis, the suggested treatment and whether travel is needed at all. This step helps you avoid an unnecessary trip.

Cost depends on the procedure, hospital category, city, room type and length of stay. A fair estimate is only possible after a doctor has seen your reports. We give a written, itemised estimate that lists inclusions and exclusions, and we explain how complications or extra days could change the final bill.

Hospitals usually bill in Indian rupees or US dollars, and international payments are normally made by bank transfer or card. Because the naira exchange rate moves, ask for the estimate in a stable currency, confirm the payment schedule and refund terms in writing, and check any transfer limits with your bank early. Do not pay into personal accounts; payment should go to the hospital or to a clearly named company account.

English is used in Indian hospitals for consultations, consent forms and discharge papers, so most Nigerian patients communicate comfortably with doctors and nurses. International patient desks can also help with paperwork, and we can explain medical terms in plain language before and after each consultation.

Before you fly, we collect your discharge summary, reports, medicine list and imaging. Your Indian doctor stays reachable through the hospital team for follow-up queries and teleconsults, and the records help any doctor you see in Nigeria continue your care. We also help you plan which medicines to carry and which can be sourced locally.
