Cerebral Palsy (CP) affects many children across Tanzania, frequently linked to complications during childbirth, malaria-related infections in infancy, or delayed access to emergency obstetric care in rural areas. Paediatric neuro-rehabilitation services are concentrated mainly in Dar es Salaam, leaving families in other regions with very limited local support. Stem Cell Cure India works with Tanzanian families exploring stem cell therapy as a complementary approach alongside physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
Outside Dar es Salaam and a small number of regional referral hospitals, Tanzania has very limited access to paediatric neurologists, developmental assessment services, or structured rehabilitation programmes for children with CP. Many families travel to India for a combination of specialist neurology input, advanced diagnostic imaging, and regenerative treatment options that are difficult to access within Tanzania.
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 paediatric neurological conditions relevant to cerebral palsy care.
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 when combined with ongoing physiotherapy. Results vary significantly by child and severity of CP, and stem cell therapy is not a cure.
Suitability depends on the type and severity of CP, and the child's overall health. Before travelling, our team reviews:
No. Cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition and stem cell therapy is not a cure. It is explored as a complementary option that may support motor function and reduce inflammation, alongside ongoing physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Children of various ages have been treated, though many families consider treatment earlier in development when neuroplasticity is higher. Our team will advise on suitability based on your child's specific case.
The procedure is minimally invasive and conducted under paediatric medical supervision, using ethically sourced, ICMR-compliant stem cells. Side effects are generally mild.
Recent neurological/developmental assessment reports, MRI or CT scans if available, and a summary of current therapies. This allows our team to give an initial opinion before you commit to travel.
Most families stay between 5 and 10 days, depending on the treatment plan and any additional evaluation required.
Yes. Once treatment is confirmed, we provide the invitation and supporting documents Tanzanian citizens need to apply for a Medical Visa through the Indian High Commission in Dar es Salaam.
