About Us
There comes a moment when a doctor says something that changes everything. A diagnosis. A procedure your country cannot perform. A number your insurance will not cover. At that moment, you do not need a brochure. What you need is a person who picks up the phone, knows what to do, and walks alongside you every step of the way.
That is what HMT Care was built to be.
Holistic Medical Tourism (HMT) was founded by people who understand both sides of this journey. The frustration of watching family members navigate broken healthcare systems in Southern Africa, and the extraordinary quality of care that exists in India's world-class hospitals, often at a fraction of what it costs closer to home.
We are not a referral agency. We do not send you a list of hospitals and wish you luck. HMT is a fully integrated care coordination company that will manage every single step of your medical journey, from your first inquiry to your six-week post-operative follow-up at home. Your dedicated HMT coordinator knows your name, knows your case, and is reachable by WhatsApp seven days a week.
We have built deep partnerships with Chennai's finest hospitals, where some of the world's most respected surgeons perform thousands of procedures each year on international patients from Africa and beyond. We have negotiated the best patient rates, secured the accommodation, mapped the best routes from the airport, and trained our India concierge team to treat every patient like a member of their own family.
Your health is not a transaction. It is your life. And at HMT, we take that seriously.
Why HMT? (Value Proposition)
The Savings Are Real -
A heart bypass that costs $45,000 in a South African private hospital can be performed at a hospital in Chennai for $7,000–$12,000. Including flights, accommodation, and HMT's full service, most patients still save more than 60%. We show you the numbers, every rand & every dollar, transparently.
The Quality Is Exceptional -
India's hospitals are top-notch. Surgeons trained at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and the UK's Royal Colleges. Robot-assisted surgeries. Proton therapy. Liver transplants that lead the world in volume and outcomes. JCI and NABH accreditation, which are the same standards used in the USA and Europe. Your care in India will likely exceed anything available to you at home.
The Support Is Continuous -
From the moment you contact us to the day your local HMT agent calls for your six-week follow-up, you are never alone. Your India concierge meets you at the airport, accompanies you to every appointment, manages your medication, and files a daily care report. We think of everything, so you do not have to think about anything except getting better.
