Chronic lung conditions — including COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and post-tuberculosis lung damage — remain a considerable health burden in Tanzania, where TB prevalence is among the higher rates in East Africa and indoor air pollution from charcoal and wood-based cooking fuels affects many households. 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.
Advanced pulmonology diagnostics such as HRCT imaging and specialist regenerative treatment options are largely unavailable outside Dar es Salaam, and even there, capacity is limited. Many Tanzanian patients travel to India for a combination of specialist evaluation, affordable advanced diagnostics, and regenerative treatment options not widely available in East Africa.
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 lung 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) 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 standard pulmonology treatment such as bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, or antifibrotic medication where prescribed.
Suitability depends on the specific lung condition and its severity. Before travelling, our team reviews:
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 Tanzanian citizens need to apply for a Medical Visa through the Indian High Commission in Dar es Salaam.
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.
