What the three weeks actually look like
From sending your first medical scans to your fit-to-fly clearance.
Before you fly
Reports and a surgeon’s opinion
Send your X-rays and medical history. Within 24–48 hours you get a named surgeon’s written opinion and a costed plan from each hospital you shortlist.
Day 1–2
Arrival and tests
Airport pickup, hotel check-in and hospital consultation. Blood work, ECG, anaesthesia clearance and a fitness review are completed the same or next day.
Day 3
Surgery
The operation takes 60–90 minutes per joint. You are moved to your private room the same day and stood up with support within 24 hours.
Day 4–7
Walking with physio
Twice-daily physiotherapy in the ward. Most patients walk with a frame by day two after surgery and manage stairs before discharge.
Day 8–21
Recovery and review
You stay near the hospital in a serviced hotel with outpatient physio, then a final review, stitch removal and fit-to-fly clearance before you travel home.
“I paid the hospital directly at the billing counter and the number matched the estimate Marlin sent me in Nairobi. Nobody asked me for a single extra shilling.”
Questions patients ask before they book
Essential details on payments, visa processing, language and post-operative flight permissions.
Is Parkinson's painful?+
People with Parkinson's suffer from the same pain other individuals have. The pain is also amplified by the motor dysfunction. They may also experience additional pain problems unique to Parkinson's disease. Lower back pain and neck pain are common.
Can Parkinson's be cured?+
Currently, there is no cure for Parkinson's. However, treatments are available to relieve the symptoms and maintain the quality of life. The treatments include supportive therapies like physiotherapy.
What happens when Parkinson's is not treated?+
If left untreated, Parkinson's disease worsens with time. Parkinson's might cause a deterioration of all brain functions and an early death. However, life expectancy is normal in most treated individuals with Parkinson's disease.
Am I a suitable candidate for Deep Brain Stimulation?+
Deep brain stimulation is a surgical procedure where a device is implanted in the body to deliver electrical pulses to the brain to ease motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. DBS might be considered for individuals who have had Parkinson’s for 4 years or more and for those who have significant “off” periods when their medications aren’t working well, or those who show uncontrolled, abnormal movements.
Is Parkinson???s disease fatal?+
Parkinson’s disease doesn’t shorten a person’s life expectancy. However, late stage symptoms like immobility, difficulty swallowing and poor balance place the patients at a higher risk for fatal complications, which can include pneumonia, fractured hips, and choking.
