Chronic liver disease — including cirrhosis linked to hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and schistosomiasis-related liver damage — is a notable health concern in Tanzania, where viral hepatitis and parasitic liver conditions remain more prevalent than in many other regions. Liver transplant is not available within Tanzania, meaning patients requiring advanced intervention must travel abroad. Stem Cell Cure India works with Tanzanian patients exploring stem cell therapy as a treatment option that may help support liver function without the need for a full transplant.
With no liver transplant programme currently operating in Tanzania, patients with advanced liver disease have historically had very few options beyond medical management at referral hospitals such as Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam. This has led a growing number of Tanzanian patients to travel to India, where they can access both specialist hepatology evaluation and regenerative treatment options not available 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 Tanzania for chronic liver disease treatment.
Dr. Singh brings over three decades of clinical experience in general medicine and surgery, supporting the overall health evaluation of patients — including baseline assessments for liver disease patients — before and during their stem cell therapy journey at Stem Cell Cure India.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), typically sourced from bone marrow or umbilical cord tissue, are studied for their potential to support liver tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve markers of liver function. The cells are administered via a minimally invasive procedure — most often through an intravenous or targeted infusion — under the supervision of our hepatology and regenerative medicine team. This approach does not replace the need for a donor organ in advanced end-stage disease, but may help support liver function and quality of life in suitable candidates.
Suitability depends on the stage and cause of liver disease. Before travelling, our team reviews:
No. Stem cell therapy is not a replacement for transplant in advanced end-stage liver failure. It is explored as an option to help support liver function, particularly in earlier or moderate-stage disease, and should be discussed alongside standard hepatology care.
Patients with active viral hepatitis are evaluated carefully before treatment. In many cases, antiviral management is addressed as part of the overall care plan alongside stem cell therapy. Our team will review your hepatitis status as part of the pre-screening process.
Patients with schistosomiasis-related liver involvement are evaluated individually. Please share your diagnostic history so our team can advise on suitability for your specific case.
Recent liver function tests (LFTs), abdominal ultrasound or CT/MRI, hepatitis B/C status, and any prior treatment history. This allows our team to give an initial opinion before you commit to travel.
Most patients stay between 7 and 14 days, depending on the diagnostic work-up required and the treatment plan.
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.
