Common questions
Do I need an angiogram first?
Yes. Hospitals use it to decide whether you need bypass surgery or a stent. If you had one in Kenya, send it with your request.
When can I fly home?
Usually about two weeks after surgery, once the surgeon is happy with your recovery.
What else should I ask?
Ask what the quote includes for intensive care and what happens to the cost if you need to stay longer.
Prices are indicative and change often. Hospitals confirm the price after reviewing your reports. Check visa rules on official government sites before you book. This page is general information, not medical advice.
