Frequently asked questions
Can I send my child’s reports before we decide to travel?
Yes. Send them on WhatsApp and we arrange a review with the relevant department, so you know the plan and written estimate before booking.
How many people can accompany the child?
For the e-Medical visa, the official portal allows up to two medical attendants per patient. If your passport is not eligible for the e-Visa, you apply for a regular visa through the Indian embassy, and we help with the hospital letter. The final decision is with the Indian authorities.
Does the 10% surgery discount cover operations for children?
Yes, it covers the operation cost at our contracted hospitals, based on the written estimate. It does not cover medicines or supplies used in the hospital.
Do I pay you anything?
No. You pay the hospital directly, based on its written estimate. Coordination and interpretation are free under our hospital contracts. Treatment, medicines, accommodation and travel are paid separately, and we explain these costs before you decide.
