522 Nigerians, who visited India, came for
medical treatment.

The breakdown of African tourist arrivals in

Kenya- 40,484(9.2 per cent); Sudan-8,778(9.1

Continent. Africans who desire expertise in
medical services, effective financing program
and stable governance, quality health
infrastructure continue to move to India in
search of these.
