For hospital international patient teams

Prepared Somali cases, answered in one step.

Every patient arrives with a case record: records gathered and translated from Somali, reviewed by a clinician, with full CT, MRI and X-ray studies that open in your browser. Your team answers through the link. We handle the patient from there.

Your answer

  • Send an estimate
  • Ask for records or tests
  • Ask for a video call
  • Can’t estimate yet
  • Decline

Everything your consultants ask for, in one link.

Built around what international desks ask for before an estimate: the question, the history, the reports and the scans.

CT chest · axial48 / 120

Full imaging studies

CT, MRI and X-ray studies uploaded in full, not photos of films. They open in a diagnostic viewer in your browser: no CDs, nothing to download.

The question comes first

What the patient needs from you, how urgent it is, and their own questions for the doctor.

A clinician-reviewed summary

Concern, history, medicines and allergies. Every statement links to its source document.

Somali originals, English beside them

Every Somali record translated into English, with the original one click away.

Requests, followed through

Ask for a report or a test and see it go from requested to added. The record keeps growing.

Answer in one step. We take it from there.

Partner or not, your team answers through the link: send an estimate, ask for records or tests, ask for a video call, say you can’t estimate yet, or decline. No account to create.

The link opens for one verified email and stays open for 48 hours.

What happens next

  1. 1We check what it includes, excludes, could change and leaves out.
  2. 2We explain it to the patient in Somali, beside any other answers.
  3. 3If they choose you, we send the passport details for your invitation letter and prepare the trip.

Complete estimates win the patient.

We check every estimate on four lines before the family sees it, and compare answers by what they cover, not only the headline price.

  • Excluded

Chosen

We carry the patient. Your clinicians decide.

One coordinator follows the patient from the first record to the follow-up call, so your team deals with one point of contact.

How a partnership begins

  1. 1An introduction call
  2. 2Your team reviews a demo case
  3. 3Terms and the first-case flow agreed

Questions hospital teams ask.

  • A patient sent us a link. Do we need to be a partner?

    No. Open the record and the scans, and answer through the link. It opens for one verified email and stays open for 48 hours. If you’d like cases sent to you, the prepared PDF and our coordination, we’d welcome a partnership conversation.

  • Who prepares the case record?

    Our team gathers the patient’s records and scans and translates the Somali documents into English. A SomalMed clinician reviews the summary, and every statement links to its source document, so your consultants can check it and make their own assessment.

  • What should our estimate include?

    What the price covers, what it doesn’t, what could change after examination, and the expected length of stay in hospital and in India. Patients compare estimates by what they cover, so a complete estimate is the one they trust.

  • Can we get the case as a PDF?

    Partner hospitals receive the prepared case-record PDF for their files. Other hospitals read the full record and imaging through the patient’s link.

  • How does payment reach us?

    We coordinate the patient’s questions and payment steps around your written estimate. The exact route is agreed with your team before the first case.

  • What are the commercial terms?

    We agree either a net rate or a commission with your team before the first case, one or the other, never both. Patients pay your own price for the same plan and room category; SomalMed adds nothing on top.

Your next step

Let’s plan your first Somali case.

We’ll walk your team through a demo case and agree how you’d receive, answer and price the first one.
