Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a commonly seen childhood physical disability in Rwanda, frequently linked to birth complications, obstructed labour, and limited access to skilled obstetric and neonatal care outside Kigali. Paediatric neurology and rehabilitation capacity is concentrated mainly at CHUK (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Kigali) and King Faisal Hospital Kigali, leaving families in the Northern, Western, and Eastern Provinces with few structured options nearby. Stem Cell Cure India supports Rwandan families exploring stem cell therapy as a complementary approach alongside physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
Rwanda's referral hospital system channels most specialist paediatric neurology cases through Kigali, but families from rural districts often face long travel and waiting times just to access a first assessment. Many Rwandan families now look to India for a combination of specialist neurology input, affordable regenerative treatment, and structured therapy support that remains difficult to access at home.
Dr. Tyagi leads the regenerative medicine protocol design at Stem Cell Cure India, overseeing stem cell sourcing, lab processing, and treatment planning for patients — including those travelling from Nigeria .
Dr. Goyal brings extensive experience across major hospitals including Medanta, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, and Apollo Delhi, with particular expertise in neuro-muscular and neuro-critical care conditions relevant to this treatment area
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), most often sourced from umbilical cord tissue, are studied for their potential to reduce neuroinflammation and support neural repair in children with CP. Some children show improvements in muscle tone, motor coordination, and functional mobility following treatment, particularly alongside continued physiotherapy. Outcomes differ from child to child depending on the severity of CP, and stem cell therapy is not a cure.
Suitability depends on the specific condition and its stage. Before travelling, our team reviews:
No. Cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition, and stem cell therapy does not cure it. It is offered as a complementary option that may support motor function and reduce inflammation, used alongside — not instead of — ongoing physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Children across a range of ages have received treatment, though many families choose to explore options earlier in development, when neuroplasticity tends to be higher. Our team reviews each child's case individually.
The procedure is minimally invasive and carried out under paediatric medical supervision, using ethically sourced, ICMR-compliant stem cells. Reported side effects are usually mild.
A recent neurological or developmental assessment, MRI/CT scans if available, and a summary of ongoing therapies. This lets our team give an initial opinion before you commit to travelling.
Most families stay around 5 to 10 days, depending on the treatment plan and whether further evaluation is needed.
Yes. Once treatment is confirmed, we provide the invitation letter and supporting documents Rwandan citizens need to apply for a Medical Visa.
