Treatment in Durban, managed from the UK
You don’t have to wait months in pain.
If you can pay privately, there is an organised alternative to the queue. Kiros Healthcare screens you at home, treats you at an accredited private hospital in Durban, looks after your recovery by the Indian Ocean, and follows you up back in the UK. One team, one fixed price in pounds, paid here before you travel.
The difference
What you would otherwise be waiting for
These are typical NHS waits against the lead time for the same treatment in Durban. Your own wait depends on your condition, your trust and how urgent your case is — an urgent case is always prioritised by the NHS, and we will tell you so.

Why patients choose us
Managed end to end, not a trip you arrange yourself
The risk in going abroad for surgery is not the surgery — it is everything around it. That is the part we take off you.
Where to go next
Three things worth reading
Your journey
What actually happens, stage by stage, from the first call to your 90-day follow-up — and what we handle for you.
What it costs
Guide prices for treatment and dentistry, which you can switch between pounds and rand and compare against home.
While you’re here
Dentistry, diagnostics, physiotherapy and elective extras you can add to a recovery stay.
What this site is not. Nothing here is medical advice, and no price here is a quote. Every patient gets an individual clinical assessment, and your costs are confirmed in writing for your own case before you commit to anything. If your condition is urgent, contact your GP or NHS 111 — this is not an emergency service.
Tell us what you need.
Give us a rough idea of the treatment and your timing, and we’ll come back with an indicative plan and the next steps. Nothing is booked and no payment is taken.
