ABOUT NIGERIA
Nigeria officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a federal constitutional republic comprising 36 states and its Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.  The first inhabitants of what is now Nigeria were thought to have been the Nok people (500 BC –c. AD 200). The culture of Nigeria is shaped by Nigeria's multiple ethnic groups with Arabic and western European cultural influences. The country has over 50 languages and over 250 dialects and ethnic groups. Art is a very important part of the Nigerian culture. Today art in Nigeria ranges from Sculptures, mask, and paintings. Cultural activities, such as music and dance, are also a large part of art in Nigeria. Nigerian art go back more than 2000 years. Nigerian art work display their craftsmanship skills with wood, copper and bronze. The art from Nigeria can be seen in their cultural centers, as well as many museums throughout the world.  But when it comes to medical care and facilities, Nigeria faces extreme limitations. Nigeria has a number of well-trained doctors, yet medical facilities in Nigeria are in poor condition, with inadequately trained nursing staff. Diagnostic and treatment equipment is often poorly maintained, and many medicines are unavailable. With medical tourism picking up at a fast pace, a large number of patients are travelling from Nigeria to India for various medical and surgical treatments. The real attraction to medical tourism to India for Nigeria patients is saving money on what normally are very costly procedures i.e. the cost of surgery in India for kidney transplants, cancer treatments, among others, can be as low as just a tenth or are not even available in Nigeria.

The process begins with the patient sending his query and medical history by email or discussing the medical condition on phone with a healthcare manager. The reports and the case is studied by our senior surgeons/physicians for a detailed medical opinion which is then conveyed to the patient for the patient to understand and plan further. As a mandatory protocol all reports are studied by not less than 3 Experts for Unbiased Comprehensive Medical Opinions. After this the patient can travel to India on pre-Confirmed dates. We assist our patients from Nigeria in getting medical visa approval plus we also arrange all logistic and travel related requirements.
