Sub-specialty capacity for advanced cardiac, oncology, neurosurgery, and complex orthopaedic procedures inside Ghana — leading to long wait times and referrals abroad.
An end-to-end medical travel partner connecting employers, ministries, and citizens to world-class care — with transparent pricing and Ghanaian-speaking case management.
AKZ Medical Travels is a specialist medical-travel facilitator with operational hubs in Accra and Johannesburg — connecting patients in West and Southern Africa to a vetted, accredited network of hospitals and clinicians worldwide.
We were founded on a simple principle: a patient who needs specialist care should not also have to become a logistics expert, a translator, a billing specialist, and a travel agent. Our role is to absorb that complexity on behalf of the patient and on behalf of the institution sponsoring their care.
Today, AKZ acts as the single point of accountability across the entire medical journey — from first clinical assessment to final follow-up — for individual patients, corporate health programmes, and public-sector schemes alike.
Ghana has made remarkable strides in healthcare delivery — but for complex, sub-specialty, and tertiary care, demand still outpaces local capacity. For employers and ministries planning around their people, this creates real strategic risk.
Sub-specialty capacity for advanced cardiac, oncology, neurosurgery, and complex orthopaedic procedures inside Ghana — leading to long wait times and referrals abroad.
Burden of non-communicable diseases (cancer, cardiovascular, diabetes complications) among the working-age population, increasing the need for planned medical travel.
Provider discovery for patients seeking care abroad — opaque pricing, inconsistent quality signals, and no single point of accountability.
On corporate medical-aid schemes and public sector budgets to deliver more value, predictable costs, and measurable outcomes for sponsored patients.
AKZ Medical Travels exists to convert that ad-hoc activity into a managed, measurable, and dignified programme.
AKZ delivers a fully integrated medical-travel programme. One contract, one team, one point of contact — from referral all the way through to post-treatment care.
Clinical matching, second opinions, and direct relationships with top hospitals and clinicians worldwide. We confirm the case is genuinely best served abroad.
Flights, comfortable stays close to the treating hospital, and ground transport for patient and companion. Restricted mobility and medical needs accounted for.
Hassle-free medical-visa support, embassy paperwork, invitation letters, and document verification for the destination country. We package to embassy standard.
Personalised in-country assistance — translators, dietary support, family liaison — tailored to each patient. Cultural sensitivity at every step.
We vet hospitals, clinics, and clinicians using documented credentials, accreditations (JCI, NABH), outcome metrics, and periodic audits.
Transparent pricing, itemised cost estimates, payment facilitation, and support with insurance or employer financing options. No hidden mark-ups.
Structured case reports, utilisation dashboards, and audit-ready documentation for sponsors and stewardship boards. Procurement-friendly.
Follow-up consultations, rehabilitation coordination, and wellness programmes back home in Ghana. We don't disappear after the patient lands.
AKZ operates from two strategic hubs — one in Ghana, one in South Africa — giving our patients and partners reach across the continent and beyond, with local hands at every step.
From the Black Star Gate in Accra to Table Mountain in Cape Town — the two countries we know best, and the two countries our patients move between most.

Cape Town's iconic flat-topped landmark and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

Every AKZ case follows the same disciplined, eight-step process — whether the sponsor is a single employer, a parastatal, or a national scheme. The journey: travel to receive what is needed, and return well to where you belong.
HR, scheme administrator, or treating clinician submits the case. AKZ assigns a dedicated case manager within 24 hours.
Records are reviewed, gaps are flagged, and second opinions are obtained where appropriate. We confirm the case is genuinely best served abroad.
We match the case to the most appropriate accredited provider in our network and produce a written, itemised cost estimate.
The sponsor (employer, ministry, insurer) reviews the plan and quote, and approves with any required conditions or cost caps.
Visas, flights, accommodation, transfers, and concierge support are arranged and confirmed for the patient and any companion.
The case manager remains the single point of contact during admission, surgery, recovery, and discharge — sponsor receives progress updates.
The patient returns to Ghana with a full discharge summary, medication plan, and a structured handover to the local treating clinician.
Follow-up consultations, rehabilitation, and a complete sponsor case-report close out the file with documented outcomes.
