Spine Surgery in India for Kenyan Patients — FAQs
How do Kenyan patients get an Indian medical visa for spine surgery?
With the invitation letter, Kenyan Medical Visa / e-visa processing is often 3–7 working days. We confirm yellow fever and attendant visa rules. Kenyan patients apply for Indian Medical Visa / e-Medical Visa with a hospital invitation. Swahili-speaking support is arranged on request for ward rounds. SI GlobalMedCare requests the hospital invitation letter after the specialist accepts the file.
Can family from Kenya travel as medical attendants?
Usually up to two attendants travel on MX / attendant visas using the same hospital invitation. We list passport copies needed from Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Eldoret.
Will someone speak English / Swahili in Delhi?
Yes. Case managers work in English and Swahili on WhatsApp, consent, ward rounds and discharge for Kenyan families.

Nairobi to Delhi is available via Addis Ababa, Dubai, or Doha, with some seasonal or one-stop routings of about 8–12 hours. Typical fare band: $420 - $780. We meet you at IGI Terminal 3.
