India upholds high standards in medical practices, often on par with Western countries like the United States and the United Kingdom. The country has a rigorous medical education system that produces a large number of highly qualified doctors and nurses each year.
Apart from international accreditations like JCI, Indian hospitals often seek accreditation from the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), a constituent board of Quality Council of India. This ensures that the hospitals meet stringent guidelines in terms of quality and patient safety.
Hospitals and clinics in India are equipped with the latest technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Patient safety protocols are strictly followed, and quality checks are performed regularly to ensure the highest standards are maintained.
Patients in India have the right to confidentiality, informed consent, and access to their medical records. Hospitals have dedicated International Patient Services departments that assist foreign patients in navigating healthcare in India.
Medical Visa Information
Medikstar offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on medical visa requirements and the application process offering a range of services designed to simplify the process for patients seeking treatment abroad.
International patients can apply for a Medical Visa, usually designated as ‘Med Visa’, which is specifically intended for medical treatments in India.
Here are some key points to consider for medical visa travel to India:
Purpose of Travel: Clearly state the medical purpose of your visit, such as receiving treatment, undergoing a specific medical procedure, or seeking consultation with a specialist.
Medical Documentation: Gather all relevant medical records, reports, and referrals from your healthcare provider in your home country. These will be required as part of your visa application.
Invitation Letter: Medikstar will provide invitation letter from the Indian hospital or medical facility where you will be receiving treatment. This letter would provide details about the medical care you will be receiving and the estimated duration of your stay.
Visa Requirements: Familiarize yourself with the specific visa requirements for medical travel to India. This typically involves applying for a medical visa (also known as an “M-visa”) rather than a regular tourist visa.
Travel Insurance: Secure comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical expenses, including emergency medical evacuation, in case of any complications or unexpected health issues during your stay in India.
Accommodation: Accommodation is provided near the medical facility where you will be receiving treatment. Medikstar offer on-site or affiliated hotel/guest housing options.
Caregiver Visa: If you require a caregiver or attendant to assist you during your medical treatment, you need to apply for a separate visa for that individual as well.
Visa Processing Time: Allow ample time for the visa application process, as it can take several weeks to a few months, depending on the country of origin and the complexity of the medical case.
Follow-up Care: Medikstar providers any necessary follow-up care or post-treatment arrangements that may be required after you return to your home country.
Budgeting: Factor in the costs of medical treatment, travel, accommodation, and any additional expenses that may arise during your stay in India.
A Medical Visa usually has a duration of up to one year or the period of treatment, whichever is less. Required documents often include a letter from a local doctor, a letter from the Indian hospital agreeing to treat you, and proof of financial stability. Online applications are generally processed within a week.
It is advisable to consult your home country’s embassy or consulate for any travel advisories or restrictions related to India, especially due to the evolving situation with the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the hospital staff is usually well-versed in international etiquette, understanding local customs like greetings and modest dress codes can enhance your stay.
English is widely spoken in Indian medical facilities. However, translators for other languages can usually be arranged by the hospital.
Indian cuisine is diverse and can be spicy. Most hospitals offer international cuisine to cater to the dietary needs of foreign patients.
