About MedVoyage
Does MedVoyage provide medical treatment?
No. We are not a hospital or clinic, we do not diagnose, and we do not treat. All medical care comes from licensed doctors at the hospitals and clinics that treat you.
How does MedVoyage help?
We organise your reports into a case a specialist can review, approach appropriate hospitals on your behalf, and bring their answer back in plain language. We also handle travel guidance, appointments, accommodation, transport, interpretation and follow-up.
How are medical decisions made?
By you, with the doctors treating you. We never make clinical decisions — our job is to put the information in front of you in writing so you can decide, including deciding not to proceed.
Can MedVoyage choose my doctor?
We suggest providers that suit your case and explain why, but the choice is yours. If you would prefer someone else, tell us and we will work with that.
Medical Tourism
What is medical tourism?
Travelling to another country to receive medical treatment. People do it when a treatment is unavailable at home, the waiting time is too long, they want a second opinion, or the cost is more manageable.
Why do patients travel to Egypt for treatment?
Egypt has an established private healthcare sector that regularly treats international patients, and Cairo is well connected by air to much of Africa. Consultations are commonly in Arabic or English.
Practical
Can I submit my medical reports?
Yes, and it helps a lot. Upload them with the case form or send them on WhatsApp. If you have none yet, submit anyway and we will tell you what is usually needed.
How do I prepare for medical travel?
Gather your existing reports, confirm entry requirements for your nationality with the Egyptian embassy, and get a written treatment plan and cost estimate before you travel. Plan your stay around the recovery your doctors advise, not the procedure date.
Can you help with accommodation and airport pickup?
Yes. We arrange accommodation suited to your stay and mobility, and someone meets you at the airport and takes you to where you are staying.
What does it cost?
Treatment costs are set by the hospital, not by us, and depend on your case. We ask providers for a written estimate before you commit. For what MedVoyage charges, ask us directly — we will tell you upfront.
How do I contact MedVoyage?
WhatsApp is fastest, and there is a button on every page. You can also email info@medvoyage.me or use the contact form.
Your Information
Is my medical information kept private?
Yes. It is stored securely, used only to coordinate your care, and shared with a hospital only with your permission. It is never sold or used for advertising.
Still have a question?
Ask us directly. We answer honestly, including when the answer is that we cannot help.
