Official websiteCommon questions before travelling for treatment in India
These answers explain coordination, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Your specialist determines clinical care after assessment.
Does every heart condition need catheterisation or surgery?
No. Medication, catheter-based treatment or surgery depends on the diagnosis, test results and a cardiologist's assessment. Our role is to coordinate the review and communication.
What medical reports should I share first?
Send existing medical reports and scans, a brief case history, and your current medicine list if available. Do not arrange new tests based on the website alone; the specialist advises what is needed.
Can I book an operation automatically online?
No. Contact our team directly by WhatsApp or phone. We coordinate specialist review and discuss written hospital estimates and arrangements; the website does not automatically book treatment.
How do airport reception and interpretation work?
After the services and arrival details are agreed, our team can coordinate Delhi airport reception, local assistance and medical interpretation as agreed. The hospital confirms treatment details and charges.
What discounts apply to heart surgery in India through Blue Crescent?
Under our formal hospital contracts, Blue Crescent pays 10% of the operation cost directly to the hospital on your behalf, plus 20% off prescribed take-home medicines, with 100% free coordination and medical interpretation.
When can a cardiac patient safely fly home after treatment?
After catheter procedures or TAVI, patients typically fly within 5–7 days. After open-heart surgery, 10–14 days of local recovery in Delhi/Gurgaon are usually needed for wound check and a Fit-to-Fly certificate.
