Treatment in India for patients from Kenya

Kenya is among the countries listed by the Press Information Bureau for medical-purpose arrivals in India in 2025. If you are in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu or Nakuru, this page covers how to prepare a case and plan around follow-up in Kenya.

YourHeal India is a consultant and introducer — we are not a hospital or medical provider. Hospitals, doctors, hotels, taxis, wellness centres and tour operators listed here are independent third parties; we do not own or run them. We introduce you, request quotes and coordinate the arrangements, and each provider is responsible for its own service, prices and terms. In an emergency call local emergency services.

English works, Swahili is not covered yet

Our coordinators work in English, which most Kenyan patients use for medical paperwork. Swahili support is being arranged but is not available now. Because medical records in Kenya are normally in English, translation is rarely needed.

Shilling and dollar estimates

Written estimates are in US dollars. Kenyan shilling conversion is up to you and your bank; ask about the rate and fees on the day you pay, and whether a deposit is required to confirm the date.

Two and a half hours behind

Kenya is 2 hours 30 minutes behind Indian Standard Time. A late-morning consultation in India falls early in the morning for you, so you may prefer an afternoon slot in India.

Prior treatment history

What helps most is a clear history: when symptoms began, what was tried, which medicines you took and for how long, what the local specialist concluded, and any reactions. Put these dates on one page.

Follow-up at home

Plan the follow-up in Kenya before you travel. Ask your local doctor whether they will review the Indian discharge summary, who will do monitoring tests, and how you would reach them if something changes.

Visa

Visa help is guidance only. The decision is made by the authorities, and requirements depend on your nationality and change over time. Check the current rules on the official Indian visa portal before you book anything. indianvisaonline.gov.in

Questions from Kenya

Do I need to translate my records?
Usually not; records in Kenya are mostly in English. Send them as scans or photographs that are clearly readable.
Is Swahili support available?
Not yet. It is being arranged, and English is the working language for now.
What does the time difference mean for calls?
Kenya is 2.5 hours behind India, so we suggest afternoon slots in India for consults that do not clash with your morning.
What history should I write down?
Onset, treatments tried, medicines and doses, test dates, and what your Kenyan doctor advised.
Who handles follow-up after I return?
Your own doctor in Kenya. Agree on this before you travel and bring the hospital summary with you.

How it works: you send records, a partner hospital gives an opinion and a written estimate, and you decide whether to travel. We do not publish a price for your treatment; any figure is a planning estimate until a hospital quotes in writing.
