Thyroid nodule treatment without surgery — a short flight from Kigali.
Rwandan patients can have a thyroid nodule treated without surgery at Thyroid Care Kenya in Nairobi — radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is not offered in Rwanda, and Kigali is a short direct flight from Nairobi.
From Kigali to treated and home again
Direct flights connect Kigali (KGL) to Nairobi (NBO) in about 1 hour 30 minutes, with several departures daily. As Rwanda is a member of the East African Community, its citizens can enter Kenya without a visa — just carry your passport.
Most Rwandan patients complete treatment in a single 2–3 day visit: arrive, consult, same-day procedure, next-day check, fly home.
Consultations in Kiswahili and English.
- Send us your reports before you commit
