25 common questions about planning treatment in India with ARRF Health Tours — costs, doctors, hospitals, visas and what happens after you go home. If yours isn’t here, just ask us.
Medical travel means going to another country for treatment — usually for faster access, specialist expertise, or a significantly lower cost than at home. India is one of the most established destinations: internationally accredited hospitals, surgeons who handle very high case volumes, little or no waiting time for surgery, and English widely spoken in clinical settings.
Send us your medical reports by WhatsApp or email. We share them with the relevant specialist on our panel, and come back to you in writing with the recommended treatment plan, the doctor and hospital we suggest, and a cost estimate. There is no charge for this and no obligation to proceed.
Yes. Reviewing your reports, recommending a specialist and preparing your estimate is free. You only pay the hospital for treatment you choose to go ahead with.
We aim to respond within 24 hours of receiving your reports. Complex cases sometimes take a little longer because the specialist reviews them personally — we will tell you if that is the case.
You get one point of contact instead of several. We route your reports to the right specialist rather than a general enquiry desk, put the estimate in writing so you can compare it properly, and coordinate the practical side of the trip so you are not managing it from another country.
We currently coordinate treatment at 9 partner facilities across Delhi NCR, including Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Artemis Hospitals, ShardaCare Healthcity, BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital and others. Every hospital listed on our site is one where a doctor from our panel actually treats patients — we do not list hospitals we have no relationship with.
Our partner hospitals are accredited by NABH, and several also hold JCI accreditation — the international standard for hospital quality and patient safety.
Our panel is 25 senior specialists across 8 specialties. Every doctor has a full profile on this website showing their designation, qualifications, years of experience, areas of expertise and hospital — taken directly from their hospital's official profile. You will know exactly who would be treating you before you travel.
Liver transplant, neurosurgery, orthopedics and joint replacement, bone marrow transplant and hematology, medical oncology, ENT, surgical oncology and breast onco-surgery. If your condition sits outside these, tell us anyway and we will say honestly whether we can help.
Yes. We recommend the specialist we think is the best fit for your case, but you can read every profile on our site and tell us who you would prefer.
Yes — that is essentially what the free case review is. You can use our specialist's opinion to compare against advice you have already received at home, with no obligation to travel.
It depends on your diagnosis, the procedure, the hospital and how long you stay. We give you a written estimate after a specialist has reviewed your reports — that is the only reliable number.
No. Any figures on this website are indicative ranges to help you plan, not quotations. Your actual cost is confirmed in writing after your reports are reviewed.
We set out what is included and what is not, in writing, so you can see the full picture before you commit. If something is not covered by the estimate, we tell you upfront rather than after the fact.
Our case review, doctor and hospital recommendation, and coordination support are free to you. You pay the hospital for your treatment.
For most of the procedures we handle, treatment in India costs substantially less than in the UAE, Europe or the US — often a fraction of it — at accredited hospitals with very experienced surgeons. See our cost pages for indicative comparisons.
Yes. We guide you through the Indian medical visa process and coordinate the documentation the hospital needs to provide in support of your application.
Your passport, recent medical reports and imaging, any biopsy or pathology results, a summary of your current medication, and passport photographs. We will tell you if anything specific to your case is needed.
Yes. India issues attendant visas for companions travelling with a medical-visa patient, and we can help you plan for an attendant to stay with you.
Your latest reports and scans. The more complete they are, the more accurate your treatment plan and estimate will be — and the less that has to be repeated after you arrive.
WhatsApp or email is fine — whichever is easier for you. Send clear photographs or scans of the documents; your reports are shared only with the specialist reviewing your case.
Yes. You are coordinated by ARRF Health Tours rather than left to deal with multiple departments, and you can reach us on WhatsApp or by phone throughout.
It can happen — a surgeon may revise the plan after examining you in person or repeating tests. If that changes the cost or the length of your stay, you will be told before anything proceeds.
We stay reachable after you travel back and can help coordinate follow-up questions with your treating team in India, so you are not left without a contact once you are home.
Yes — international patients are who we work with. We regularly assist patients travelling from the GCC, Central Asia, Africa and South Asia, and we have destination guides on our blog for several of these regions.
Share your medical reports and receive a treatment plan, cost estimate and hospital options within 24 hours.
