Medical travel to India

The same operation. A fraction of the price.

We connect patients from abroad with accredited hospitals in India, then handle everything around the treatment — the visa letter, the flight met at arrival, a room near the hospital, an interpreter at every consultation, the journey home. One quote, agreed before you fly. The hospital's bill is passed to you at cost, exactly as they invoice us.

Get my exact estimate

Indicative ranges in US dollars, based on published hospital price lists and patient-reported costs. Your written estimate will be exact and will name the surgeon and the hospital. If you are coming from Bangladesh, Iraq or Central Asia, the reason to travel is usually access to a specialist and to modern equipment rather than price — we will say so honestly if that is your situation.

The process, in order

Five steps between your first message and coming home

Nothing is charged to you at any of them. You can stop at any step.

01

Send your reports

WhatsApp or email whatever you already have — discharge summary, scans, blood work, the doctor's note. Photos of paper reports are fine. If you have nothing yet, tell us the symptoms and we will tell you what to get.

02

Receive a written estimate

Within 48 hours you get quotes from two or three hospitals, each with the treating doctor named, the number of nights included, and the implant or drug specified by brand. On one page, in writing.

03

Get your visa invitation letter

Once you choose a hospital, it issues an invitation letter. You use that to apply for an Indian Medical Visa (MV) plus MX visas for up to two attendants. We fill the forms with you and check them before you submit.

04

Arrive and be treated

Airport pickup, a local SIM, a room booked within walking distance of the hospital, and an interpreter sitting with you at every consultation. Your coordinator's personal number works 24 hours.

05

Follow up from home

Video consultations with the same surgeon for twelve months after discharge, arranged by us. We also send your full file to your doctor at home so your local care continues properly.

How we choose

Six things we check before a hospital goes on our list

Most facilitators show you logos. These are the questions we ask instead, and we will show you the answers for any hospital we quote.

Accreditation

NABH or JCI, currently valid — not expired, not "applied for". We check the certificate number.

Surgeon volume

How many of your specific procedure the named surgeon performed last year. Volume predicts outcome more than reputation does.

ICU and nursing ratio

Intensivist cover overnight, and nurses per ICU bed. This is where complications are caught or missed.

Billing transparency

A written package with a stated cap, and a named person who signs off any variation before it is charged.

International patient desk

A real department with interpreters on staff, not a phone number that rings at reception.

Complication policy

What happens, and who pays, if you need extra ICU days. Agreed in writing before you fly.

No surprises

What the estimate covers — and what it does not

Every quote we send you uses this same structure, so you can compare hospitals fairly.

Included in your quote

  • Hospital bill in full — surgeon, theatre, implants by brand, ward and ICU nights, medication and tests during the stay. Passed to you at cost.
  • Airport pickup and return, and every hospital journey
  • A serviced room within walking distance, for you and up to two attendants
  • An interpreter sitting with you at every consultation
  • Local SIM with data, on arrival
  • Your coordinator's personal number, answered 24 hours
  • Medicines collected for you from a licensed pharmacy, at printed MRP
  • Twelve months of video follow-up with your surgeon

Not included — budget for these separately

  • International flights and visa fees
  • Meals, beyond the patient's hospital diet
  • Extra ICU nights if complications occur
  • A non-standard implant, if you choose to upgrade
  • Treatment for an unrelated condition found on arrival
  • Travel insurance, which we strongly recommend

Questions

What patients ask us first

If your question is not here, message us. We answer in Arabic, Bangla, French, Swahili, Russian and English.

How much does treatment in India cost compared to my country?

For most major procedures, 60 to 90 percent less. A heart bypass costs roughly $5,500–$8,000 in India against about $123,000 in the United States and $32,000 in the United Kingdom. Your written estimate names the exact figure, the surgeon and the hospital — not a range.

How do I get an Indian medical visa?

Once you choose a hospital, it issues an invitation letter. You use that letter to apply for an Indian Medical Visa (MV), plus MX visas for up to two attendants travelling with you. We complete the forms with you and check them before you submit, because a rejected application costs you weeks.

Can my family travel with me?

Yes. Up to two attendants can travel on MX visas linked to your medical visa. Our care package covers their accommodation, transport and day-to-day support as well as yours — recovery is long, and nobody should sit through it alone.

How long will I need to stay in India?

A heart bypass or joint replacement usually means about three weeks in total, counting pre-operative tests and the recovery period before a surgeon will clear you to fly. Transplants need six to eight weeks. Your estimate states the expected stay so you can plan leave and costs.

Do I have to pay before I travel?

You pay the hospital directly, normally on admission, and you see their invoice unchanged. We never hold your treatment money. Our care package fee is separate, stated in figures, and agreed before you fly.

What happens if there are complications?

Before you travel, we agree in writing with the hospital what happens and who pays if you need additional ICU days. We recommend travel insurance in every case, and we tell you exactly what the policy needs to cover.

Our fee

What we charge, and what we don't

Three levels of care around your treatment. Choose one when you accept the estimate, or decline all three and we will still send you the hospital quote.

We never mark up your treatment. The hospital invoices us and we pass that bill to you unchanged — you will see their invoice, not ours. We are paid a referral fee by the hospital, stated in figures on every quote we send you, and a flat fee for the care package above. Those are the only two ways we make money from you, and there is no third.
