Frequently
Asked Questions.

Reach out via WhatsApp or the consultation form on any page of this site with a short description of your medical concern. Our team will respond within 24 hours with an initial assessment and next steps.

We facilitate treatment in India and Turkey. India is generally suited to cardiac, oncology, orthopedic, neurosurgery, transplant and fertility care, while Turkey is generally suited to hair transplant, cosmetic and dental surgery.

It depends mainly on the treatment you need. See our Turkey vs India comparison, or tell us your situation via WhatsApp and we'll recommend the right destination.

We handle hospital or clinic matching, medical visa documentation, flight and accommodation booking, airport transfers, and follow-up coordination once you're home — so you can focus on your treatment.

Cost depends entirely on your diagnosis, the procedure required and the hospital or clinic you're matched with. As a general guide, patients typically save up to 70% compared to equivalent treatment in the US, UK or private care in South Africa. We provide a personalised, no-obligation quote after reviewing your case.

Payment structures depend on the hospital or clinic and your specific treatment plan. Your coordinator will explain the payment schedule that applies to your case during your free consultation.

Packages typically include the treatment itself, accommodation, airport and clinic transfers, and post-treatment medication, though exact inclusions vary by hospital or clinic. Your personalised quote will set out exactly what's covered.

Payment arrangements vary by case and will be explained clearly by your coordinator before you commit to anything, so you know exactly what you're paying and to whom.

Yes, most Tanzanian travellers need a medical visa or e-Visa for either destination. Gabby Consultants handles the full visa application and documentation as part of the travel support service. See our Istanbul travel guide for Turkey-specific details.

Yes, many patients travel with a family member or companion. Let us know when booking so we can arrange accommodation and, where relevant, visa documentation for both of you.

This varies significantly by procedure — from a few days for some Turkey procedures to several weeks for major surgery in India. Your treatment-specific page or your coordinator will give you a personalised estimate.

Extensions can usually be arranged if your recovery requires more time. Speak to your coordinator as early as possible so accommodation and any visa implications can be sorted out smoothly.

Our team stays in touch after you're home, coordinating with your treating hospital or clinic on follow-up checks, results and any questions that come up during your recovery.

Yes. Contact your coordinator directly and we'll liaise with the treating hospital or clinic on your behalf to help resolve any post-treatment concerns.

We work with JCI-accredited hospitals and clinics, and our India partners are also NABH certified, operating under ISO 9001 quality standards.

We match you to an accredited hospital or clinic based on your specific diagnosis, the complexity of your case, and the facility's relevant specialty experience.
