Neurosurgical procedures are very expensive. The surgeries are technically challenging and there are few neurosurgeons. Only advice is get a second opinion.

There have been 3 so far, Kijabe, MP Shah and Aga Khan but another wouldn't hurt. Any contacts of a good specialist?

There are about 12 or so neuro-surgeons in Kenya.

A friend to my neighbour had successful brain surgery this month at KNH for a large 5cm tumour. Now going for chemo.

Pick any one from below:

1. Dr P. K. Wanyoike
KNH, Nairobi

2. Prof Nimrod Mwang'ombe
KNH, Nairobi

3. Dr Kiboi, Julius
Dinesh Chandaria Medical Centre, Shivachi Road, Nairobi

4. Dr. Qureshi
Aga Khan Hospital Plaza, Nairobi

5. Dr Musau, Christopher
The Nairobi Hospital Doctors Plaza, Argwings Kodhek Road, Nairobi

Pole sana .

With due respect to our doctors but for such cases I recommend India.

They have more experience than we do, necessary equipment and above all pocket friendly.

That quote could reduce to 500k airfare included.

All the best and good luck.God bless.

Kenya has world class doctors. Wachana na India.

Update us on which doc, which hospital your friend chose, and on the progress.

Best wishes.

And our very own doctors in Wazua? What are their specialization? Dont they also have colleagues in this field? Maybe a doctor is more likely to know a fellow doctor...

This is a myth. When all is said and done, note that those hospitals in india are businesses. Those costs they quote are ridiculously suspect. Plus, their nursing care is poor and most patients return with post operative complications. I would rather have my treatment here anyday.
A friend when to india for training and was shocked that some of these centres dont even use international treatment protocols

@grolut... please update us on the progress of the patient.. we are eager to know.
