Muscular Dystrophy (MD) is significantly under-diagnosed in Somalia, where genetic testing and neuromuscular specialist review are available only through a handful of facilities in Mogadishu, if at all. Many affected children and adults go years, or a lifetime, without a confirmed diagnosis or structured management plan. Stem Cell Cure India works with Somali families exploring stem cell therapy as a complementary option alongside physiotherapy and standard neuromuscular care.
Genetic and neuromuscular diagnostic capacity in Somalia remains extremely limited, and specialist follow-up for progressive muscle-wasting conditions is scarce even in the capital. Families increasingly explore India for combined diagnostic clarity, specialist neurology input, and regenerative treatment options that are difficult or impossible to access locally.
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 reduce inflammation in affected muscle tissue and support the surrounding cellular environment. Stem cell therapy is not a cure for muscular dystrophy and does not reverse genetic muscle degeneration; it is offered as a complementary option to discuss alongside physiotherapy, orthopaedic support, and respiratory monitoring where relevant.
Suitability depends on the specific condition and its stage. Before travelling, our team reviews:
No. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic condition, and stem cell therapy does not reverse the underlying genetic cause. It is explored as a complementary option that may help support muscle tissue health.
A confirmed genetic diagnosis is helpful but not always required. If you don't yet have one, our team can advise on next steps during the initial review.
Any genetic test results, a recent neurology or neuromuscular specialist assessment, and details of current mobility and respiratory function.
Most patients stay 5 to 10 days, depending on diagnostics and the treatment plan.
Yes. Once treatment is confirmed, we provide the invitation and supporting documents Somali citizens need to apply for a Medical Visa.
