“They Helped Me with Everything” – A Tanzanian Man’s Honest Journey of Treatment in India

“My name is Matera Newland Chacha. I’m from Tanzania, and I’m speaking to you now from India.”

This is not a scripted success story. It’s the real voice of a man who made a life-changing decision — not because he wanted to, but because he had to. When local options couldn’t help his health condition, Mr. Matera chose to travel to India. What he found here was not just good doctors, but genuine support that made every step easier.

He wants his fellow Tanzanians and friends across East Africa to hear his experience. Because it might just give someone the courage to get the help they need.

Knowing Something Was Wrong — And Not Waiting Too Long

Mr. Matera had been unwell. Like many people, he first tried to manage his health problem at home. But after some time, he realized he needed more specialized treatment. That’s when he decided to explore India — a country he had heard about but never imagined visiting as a patient.

“Napenda niwashauri jambo moja… unapokuwa na ugonjwa, tafuta msaada. Usikae kimya.”
(I want to give one piece of advice — if you’re unwell, seek help. Don’t stay silent.)

Step 1: Connecting with the Right People

“Kutana na kampuni moja inaitwa Health Voyage Global.”

That’s how his journey began. Through a recommendation, he reached out to a medical travel company called Health Voyage Global, run by Mr. Jai (known as “Mr. JJ”) and his team. What impressed him immediately was their honesty and care.

“Hawa wanafanya kazi nzuri sana. Wanasaidia mtu yoyote anayetaka kuja kutibiwa India.”
(They do excellent work. They help anyone who wants to come for treatment in India.)

Step 2: Getting the Medical Process Started — From Home

Before even boarding a plane, Mr. Matera was guided clearly on what to do.

“Wanakushauri uchukue vipimo kule uliko… unawatumia ushauri wa daktari.”

• He did medical tests in Tanzania.
• He sent his reports to Health Voyage Global.
• The team reviewed them and shared with multiple hospitals.
• They identified the best doctors based on his condition.

Step 3: Clear Plan, Cost Estimate & Visa Support

This is where many patients struggle — understanding treatment, choosing a doctor, and estimating cost. But for Mr. Matera, everything was explained in detail.

“Wanatafuta hospitali nzuri, wanazungumza na daktari wako, wanaandaa mpango wa matibabu kulingana na hali yako.”

Once the treatment plan was ready, they helped with a visa invitation letter signed by the Indian hospital.

“Wanakuandikia barua ya mwaliko ambayo inakusaidia kupata visa kwa haraka.”

He didn’t have to guess or chase around. Everything was handled — including how much money he would need to carry, what documents were required, and what to expect on arrival.

Step 4: Landing in India — Warm Welcome & Real Hospitality

“Wanakupokea vizuri airport pale… wanakufuata.”

The moment he landed in Delhi, someone from the team was waiting at the airport. He wasn’t left standing or confused.

“Wanakutafutia sehemu ya kuishi — kama ni apartment au hoteli — na wanahakikisha unapewa chakula unachopenda.”

• He was taken to a clean, peaceful apartment.
• Meals were arranged based on his taste and dietary needs.
• Everything was made affordable and stress-free.

“Unaishi tu kama nyumbani.”
(It felt just like home.)

Step 5: Hospital Visits, Translation, and Doctor Coordination

“Wanakuhudumia kwa karibu kabisa… wanakupeleka hospitali, wanafuatilia kila hatua.”

Mr. Matera was taken to the hospital, introduced to the right doctor, and assisted in every appointment.

• He never felt alone or confused.
• The team explained what the doctor said in simple language.
• All appointments were pre-arranged — no waiting, no rushing.

Step 6: Real Treatment, Real Recovery

“Unapata matibabu sahihi, kutoka kwa daktari ambaye ameelewa tatizo lako.”

This wasn’t just a medical trip — it was healing, done with dignity.

Even after the treatment was done, the support didn’t stop. Mr. Matera’s health was monitored daily. They ensured he was eating well, sleeping comfortably, and taking his medicines properly.

“Wanafuatilia vizuri afya yako inavyoendelea.”

Step 7: Preparing to Go Back Home — With a Smile

“Wanakusaidia hadi mwisho. Wanahakikisha unarudi nyumbani ukiwa umepata tiba yako na uko salama.”

When it was time to return to Tanzania, they didn’t disappear. They helped with packing, flight coordination, airport drop, and even final reports.

Facing the Fear of Cost — And Finding the Truth

Many people fear that coming to India is expensive. Mr. Matera had this message:

“Watu wengi hudhani kuwa matibabu India ni ya gharama kubwa. Lakini ukweli ni kwamba, gharama huwa kubwa tu pale unapokuwa huna mwenyeji.”

(Expenses feel high only when you don’t have someone to guide you.)

“Kwa msaada wa Health Voyage Global, gharama zilikuwa chini. Nilielezwa kila kitu kabla. Hakukuwa na mshangao.”

His Final Advice to Fellow Tanzanians

“Usiogope kuja kutibiwa India. Matibabu si magumu. Si gharama kubwa. Ukiona unaumwa, fanya maamuzi mapema.”

And one more thing:

“Kama unataka huduma bora, usumbufu sifuri, na matibabu sahihi — tafuta hawa mabwana wa Health Voyage Global.”
