Muscular Dystrophy (MD) — a group of genetic conditions causing progressive muscle weakness, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) — is frequently under-diagnosed in Ghana due to limited access to genetic testing and specialist neuromuscular clinics. Stem Cell Cure India works with Ghanaian families exploring stem cell therapy as a complementary option alongside physiotherapy and standard neuromuscular care.
Genetic testing facilities and multidisciplinary neuromuscular care — including cardiac and respiratory monitoring important for conditions like Duchenne MD — are concentrated in a small number of private Accra hospitals, often at significant cost. Many Ghanaian families travel abroad for specialist neurology input and to explore regenerative treatment options alongside their existing care plan.
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 studied for their potential to support muscle tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and potentially help slow functional decline in some patients with muscular dystrophy. This is explored as a complementary approach — MD is a genetic condition, and stem cell therapy does not correct the underlying genetic cause, but is studied for its potential supportive role alongside standard care.
Suitability depends on your specific condition and its severity. As a starting point, our team typically reviews:
No. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic condition and stem cell therapy does not correct the underlying genetic cause. It is explored as a complementary option that may support muscle tissue repair and slow functional decline, alongside standard neuromuscular care.
Suitability depends on the child's current cardiac and respiratory function, and stage of disease. Please share recent cardiology and pulmonology assessments so our team can advise honestly.
Genetic testing or clinical diagnosis details, recent muscle strength assessment, and cardiac/respiratory function reports where relevant. This allows our team to give an initial opinion before you commit to travel.
Cost depends on the treatment plan required. Contact us for a personalised quote after sharing your medical history.
Yes. Once treatment is confirmed, we provide the invitation and supporting documents Ghanaian citizens need to apply for a Medical Visa through the High Commission of India in Accra.
Most families stay between 5 and 10 days, depending on the treatment plan and any additional evaluation required.
