Motor Neuron Disease (MND), including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is rarely diagnosed early in Ethiopia, where specialist neurology capacity is limited to a small number of hospitals in Addis Ababa and access to EMG/nerve conduction testing outside the capital is minimal. Stem Cell Cure India works with Ethiopian patients and families exploring stem cell therapy as an option to discuss alongside standard neurological care.
With neurology specialists heavily concentrated in Addis Ababa and few facilities elsewhere equipped for progressive neurological conditions, many Ethiopian patients face long delays before a confirmed MND diagnosis. A growing number are travelling to India for specialist neurology input and to explore regenerative treatment alongside conventional symptom management.
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) are being studied for their potential to support surviving motor neurons, reduce neuroinflammation, and potentially help slow symptom progression in some patients. This remains an area of active research rather than an established cure — MND currently has no cure in conventional medicine, and stem cell therapy is offered as a complementary option to discuss with your treating neurologist.
Suitability depends on the stage and pattern of MND. Before travelling, our team reviews:
No, there is currently no cure for Motor Neuron Disease in conventional medicine. Stem cell therapy is explored as a complementary option that may support quality of life and help with certain aspects of progression in some patients — it is not presented as a cure.
This depends on the individual's current respiratory and swallowing status. Please share detailed, recent medical reports so our team can give an honest assessment of whether travel and treatment are appropriate for your stage of disease.
A recent neurological assessment, EMG/NCS results if available, and details of current symptoms and medication. This allows our team to provide an honest initial opinion before you commit to travel.
Most patients stay between 7 and 10 days, depending on the treatment plan and any further evaluation required.
Yes. Once treatment is confirmed, we provide the invitation and supporting documents Ethiopian citizens need to apply for a Medical Visa through the Indian Embassy in Addis Ababa.
Cost depends on the treatment plan required. Contact us for a personalised quote after sharing your neurological reports and medical history.
