How Stem Cell Therapy May Help

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.

Is This Treatment Right for You?

Suitability depends on the specific type and stage of muscular dystrophy. Before travelling, our team reviews:

• Genetic testing results or clinical diagnosis details, if available
• Current mobility status and muscle strength assessment
• Cardiac and respiratory function (particularly for Duchenne MD)
• Current therapy and medication history

Travelling from Kenya — What to Expect

• Flights: Direct and one-stop flights are available from Nairobi (NBO) to New Delhi (DEL), typically 7–9 hours depending on route and layover
• Visa: Kenyan citizens require a Medical Visa for India, arranged through the Indian High Commission in Nairobi. Our team assists with the invitation letter and required documentation.
• Cost guidance: Treatment packages are quoted in USD; approximate Kenyan Shilling (KES) equivalents are provided on request, and are typically a fraction of 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.

What Your Visit Includes

• Remote pre-screening based on neuromuscular reports shared in advance
• In-person evaluation by our neurology and regenerative medicine team
• Diagnostic work-up to confirm MD type, stage, and suitability
• Stem cell therapy administered under medical supervision
• A written follow-up plan your doctor in Kenya can continue monitoring
• Airport pickup, accommodation assistance, and a dedicated patient coordinator throughout your stay

Frequently Asked Questions

Can stem cell therapy cure muscular dystrophy?

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 help support muscle function, alongside standard neuromuscular care.

Is this suitable for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) specifically?

Patients with DMD are evaluated individually, with particular attention to cardiac and respiratory function. Please share recent cardiac and respiratory assessments along with your child's diagnosis details.

What reports should we send before travelling?

Genetic testing or diagnosis confirmation if available, recent mobility/strength assessment, and cardiac/respiratory function reports. This allows our team to give an initial opinion before you commit to travel.

How long will we need to stay in Delhi?

Most families stay between 7 and 10 days, depending on the treatment plan and any additional evaluation required.

Do you assist with the Indian medical visa process?

Yes. Once treatment is confirmed, we provide the invitation and supporting documents Kenyan citizens need to apply for a Medical Visa through the Indian High Commission in Nairobi.

What is the approximate cost?

Cost depends on the treatment plan required. Contact us for a personalised quote after sharing your medical history and diagnosis details.
