Nigeria sends more medical tourists to India than almost any other African country. Kidney transplant is one of the top reasons — and for good reason.
Kidney Transplant Cost in India for Nigerian Patients
Kidney transplant in India costs $8,400 to $18,000 (approximately NGN 13,000,000 to NGN 28,000,000 at current rates). This compares to $50,000 to $150,000 or more for the same procedure at private hospitals in South Africa, UK, or USA. Even after flights and accommodation, Nigerian patients save 70 to 80% by choosing India.
The cost includes surgery, hospital stay of 4 to 6 weeks, ICU, medications during hospitalisation, and basic post-operative care. Accommodation for an accompanying family member and local transport is additional.

Why Nigerian Patients Choose India for Kidney Transplant
Cost: 75 to 85% lower than South Africa, UK, or USA. Waiting times: No waiting list — surgery scheduled within 2 to 4 weeks of arrival. Quality: JCI-accredited hospitals with outcomes matching global standards. English: All hospitals communicate in English. Halal food available on request. Direct flights: Lagos to Delhi (8 to 9 hours) via multiple airlines.
Living Donor vs Deceased Donor Transplant
India's Transplant of Human Organs Act permits living related donors (spouse, parents, children, siblings). Most Nigerian patients travel with a related donor. Deceased donor transplants from the government waitlist are available but have longer waiting times. MySurgery coordinates the full medical evaluation of both recipient and donor simultaneously to minimise your time in India.
