Motor Neuron Disease (MND), including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is rarely diagnosed early in Tanzania, where specialist neurology expertise is concentrated at a small number of hospitals in Dar es Salaam and diagnostic delays are common due to limited access to EMG and nerve conduction testing. Stem Cell Cure India works with Tanzanian patients and families exploring stem cell therapy as an option to discuss alongside standard neurological care.
Specialist neurology services, and the advanced diagnostics required to confirm an MND diagnosis, are extremely limited across Tanzania, with many patients only receiving a confirmed diagnosis after significant delay. Tanzanian patients increasingly travel to India for specialist neurology input and to explore regenerative treatment options 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 critical care neurology and neuro-muscular conditions relevant to MND.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are being studied for their potential to support surviving motor neurons, reduce neuroinflammation, and potentially help slow the progression of symptoms in some patients. This is an active area of research rather than an established cure — MND currently has no cure in conventional medicine, and stem cell therapy is explored 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 help support quality of life and slow certain aspects of progression in some patients — it is not presented as a cure.
This depends on the individual's current respiratory and swallowing function. Please share detailed recent medical reports so our team can advise honestly on whether travel and treatment are appropriate for your specific stage of disease.
Recent neurological assessment, EMG/NCS results if available, and details of current symptoms and medication. This allows our team to give an honest initial opinion before you commit to travel.
Most patients stay between 7 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.
Cost depends on the treatment plan required. Contact us for a personalised quote after sharing your neurological reports and medical history.
