Is Defa Life Hospital listed as authorised for international health tourism?

Yes — listed on the Ministry of Health register as of 2026-10-28 (document ST-0091). This site has read it on the register since 2026-09-17.

Being on the register says a facility holds the authorisation. It is not a quality or safety verdict; that is what an independent investigation is for.

What the register cannot tell you: whether the clinicians are skilled, whether a plan is right for you, or what happens if something goes wrong. The licence is permission, not a quality mark. How to verify a licence yourself.

What the records establish — and what remains to be established

What the records establish

  • Listed on the Ministry of Health's health-tourism register as of 2026-10-28, reference ST-0091.
  • International Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate ST-0091: copy on file, hashed on 2026-10-28.
  • 31 clinicians on the register record as of 2026-10-28.

What remains to be established

  • Which physicians are currently affiliated with the facility?
  • Does the address match how it appears in other official sources?
  • Is the authorisation's current status re-confirmed with the Ministry?
  • What does official correspondence about the facility say?

The same open questions apply to every clinic. They are not findings about this one.
