Why BookMedTrip matters for patients from Somalia

Somalia has very few doctors, about 0.05 per 1,000 people in the latest World Bank data (2014), and spends about $22 per person on health. Families often travel abroad for serious illness; a 2026 study found Somalis spent around $219 million on care abroad in 2025, with India a leading destination.

What families from Somalia often come for

Every plan starts with a specialist reviewing your reports — on a US$99 consultation that includes two calls.

Visa

Somalia is not on India's e-Visa list. As India's mission in Somalia is closed, Medical visas are handled by the High Commission in Nairobi and the Embassy in Addis Ababa, with a hospital invitation letter and proof of an advance payment (Oct 2024 guidelines).

Always confirm on the official Indian visa portal before you apply.

Safari za ndege

Ethiopian Airlines flies Mogadishu-Addis Ababa about 12 times a week and Addis-Delhi daily (FlightConnections, Nov 2026). Routes via Nairobi, Istanbul or Dubai are also used.

We can book your tickets — see Book tickets. Languages we hear from Somalia: Somali, Arabic.

Questions patients from Somalia ask

How do patients from Somalia travel to Chandigarh?

Most fly from Mogadishu to Delhi, then take a one-hour flight to Chandigarh (IXC). Some routes connect through the Gulf. We plan flights, airport pick-up and stay for you.

Do patients from Somalia need a medical visa for India?
