I suffered from an advanced brain tumor that doctors in Dar es Salaam recommended for specialized micro-neurosurgery. At Apollo Hospital Chennai, the neurosurgeons performed the surgery with great success using CyberKnife technology. The hospital expenses were 70% cheaper than what private clinics in Europe quoted. The Swahili coordinator made our stay comfortable.
