FAQ
Straight answers before you travel.
What is SK Global Health?
We are an independent facilitation service. We help patients from Africa compare hospitals in India and organise the travel around treatment. We are not a hospital.
Are you tied to one hospital?
No. A useful recommendation compares more than one suitable centre. Names are shared after we have reviewed your reports.
Do you charge patients?
The case review on this website is free. Treatment invoices are issued by the hospital. If any facilitation fee ever applies, it will be written down before you agree. We do not ask you to pay treatment costs to us.
How fast is a reply?
A coordinator aims to reply within one working day. A specialist opinion on a complete file is often ready within 48 hours. Complex cases take longer.
Which countries do you serve?
Most patients write from Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Zambia, Cameroon, Senegal, and South Africa. Other passports are welcome.
Is this medical advice?
No. Information here is general. Diagnosis and treatment decisions belong to qualified doctors at the hospital you choose. Read the disclaimer.
What should I send?
A recent scan or report, a short history, current medicines, and your country. Photos of paper reports are acceptable to start.
Can a family member come?
Yes. One attendant can usually apply alongside the patient. We include them in pickup and hotel planning.
How do I pay the hospital?
By SWIFT transfer to the hospital account on a proforma invoice, or by a named local arrangement where one exists. You should match the account name to the hospital’s invoice.
Are the prices guaranteed?
No. Ranges on this site are for planning. The hospital’s written estimate, after seeing your reports, is the figure to use.
What if I am not fit to travel?
Say so. Some cases need stabilising at home first. We would rather delay a trip than encourage an unsafe flight.
Which language do you use?
English on WhatsApp and email. An interpreter can be arranged in India when the clinical conversation needs one.
