Lung Disease Treatment in Nigeria

Chronic lung diseases — including COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and post-tuberculosis lung damage — are a significant health burden in Nigeria, driven partly by indoor air pollution from biomass fuel use and a high historical TB burden. For patients with limited response to standard inhaler and medication-based treatment, Stem Cell Cure India offers stem cell therapy as an option to explore alongside conventional pulmonology care.

Why Nigerian Patients Consider This Option

Advanced pulmonology diagnostics and regenerative treatment options remain limited in much of Nigeria. Many patients travel to India for a combination of specialist evaluation, affordable advanced diagnostics (HRCT, pulmonary function tests), and regenerative treatment options not widely available at home.

How Stem Cell Therapy May Help

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are studied for their potential to reduce lung inflammation, support tissue repair, and improve markers of lung function in certain chronic respiratory conditions. Cells are typically administered via intravenous infusion under medical supervision. This approach is explored as a complement to — not a replacement for — standard pulmonology treatment such as bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, or antifibrotic medication where prescribed.

Is This Treatment Right for You?

Suitability depends on the specific lung condition and its severity. Before travelling, our team reviews:

  • Recent pulmonary function test (PFT) results
  • Chest imaging (X-ray or HRCT scan)
  • Oxygen saturation levels and any history of oxygen therapy
  • Prior treatment history, including any TB treatment history

Travelling from Nigeria — What to Expect

  • Flights: Direct and one-stop flights are available from Lagos (LOS) and Abuja (ABV) to New Delhi (DEL), typically 8–11 hours depending on route and layover
  • Visa: Nigerian citizens require a Medical Visa for India, arranged through the Indian High Commission in Abuja or the Indian Consulate in Lagos. Our team assists with the invitation letter and required documentation.
  • Cost guidance: Treatment packages are quoted in USD; approximate Naira (₦) equivalents are provided on request, and are typically a fraction of transplant-related costs abroad
  • Stay duration: Most patients stay in Delhi for 7–14 days, depending on diagnostic requirements and the treatment plan, with follow-up blood work arranged before discharge.
  • Language: All consultations and medical reports are provided in English.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. These are chronic, often progressive conditions, and stem cell therapy is not a cure. It is explored as an option that may help support lung function and reduce inflammation, alongside standard pulmonology care.

Patients with prior TB-related lung damage are evaluated individually. Please share your TB treatment history and current chest imaging so our team can advise on suitability.

Recent pulmonary function tests, chest X-ray or HRCT scan, and any oxygen therapy history. This allows our team to give an initial opinion before you commit to travel.

Most patients stay between 7 and 10 days, depending on the diagnostic work-up and treatment plan required.

Yes. Once treatment is confirmed, we provide the invitation and supporting documents Nigerian citizens need to apply for a Medical Visa through the Indian High Commission in Abuja or Consulate in Lagos.

Cost depends on the specific condition, its severity, and the treatment plan required. Contact us for a personalised quote after sharing your pulmonary function reports and medical history.
