For many families in Ethiopia, the first step toward cancer treatment abroad feels overwhelming. Questions about reports, doctors, costs, visas, and hospital stays can create anxiety even before treatment begins.
At Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in India, international cancer patients receive structured, world-class oncology care. With the guidance of Cross Border Care, a leading medical consultancy in India for Ethiopian patients, the entire journey — from online consultation to hospital admission — becomes clear, coordinated, and manageable. This guide provides a comprehensive step-by-step explanation of the complete process.
Step 1: Sharing Medical Reports Online from Ethiopia
The journey starts without travel. You need to share your online reports with Dr Nadeem Khan, owner at Cross Border Care, before your travel.
What Patients Need to Share:
- Biopsy reports
- Histopathology results
- CT / MRI / PET scans
- Blood test reports
- Previous treatment summaries (if any)
How to Send Reports:
- Scan or take clear photos.
- Share via email or WhatsApp with Cross Border Care.
- Reports are forwarded to Apollo’s oncology team for expert review.
What Happens Next?
Cancer doctors in India for Ethiopians will review the case and provide:
- Preliminary diagnosis confirmation
- Suggested treatment plan
- Estimated duration of stay
- Approximate cost estimate
This initial opinion helps families understand whether travel is required and what to expect.
Step 2: Virtual Consultation with Apollo Oncologists
Before travelling, patients can attend an online video consultation arranged by Cross Border Care with the doctors at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital. During this consultation:
- The oncologist explains the diagnosis in simple language.
- Treatment options are discussed.
- Possible outcomes and risks are explained.
- Questions from the patient and family are answered.
This step builds trust and clarity before making the decision to travel. We connect you to top doctors at Apollo so that you feel confident before travelling.
