Before Departure

A comprehensive checklist to help you prepare for a successful and stress-free medical trip.

Currency Exchange

Convert your currency to USD, potentially at a local forex outlet, and request 100 denomination new notes for better deals.

Pack Light

Keep your luggage light, not exceeding 23 kg per person, and consider doing some shopping in India.

Weather Check

Check the local temperature on Google and pack clothes accordingly.

Travel Adaptor

Carry a travel adaptor, as plug points at the transit airports and in India may differ from those in your country.

Comfort Items

Consider bringing a neck pillow for added comfort.

Entertainment

Load movies onto your laptop or mobile phone for entertainment during transit.

Food Items

Bring tin fish or local food items if desired, as they may not be readily available in India.

Medical Consultation

Consult your local doctor, and if coming for surgery, stop taking aspirin and other blood thinners one day before departure.

Medical Reports

Bring all medical reports and any medical imaging CDs (angiogram, MRI, CT).

Health Monitoring

Carry a glucometer and strips if needed to check sugar levels regularly; alternatively, purchase them in India.

Identification

Send photos of the travelers via Viber (+919643015697) or email (info@medivisorhealth.com) for easy identification at the airport.

At the Transit Airport

Smart strategies to navigate your layover with ease and confidence.

Airport Help Desk

Airport Help Desk

Approach the airport help desk if there's confusion about the departure terminal and/or gate.

Currency Exchange

Currency Exchange

Convert 50-100 USD into Indian rupees; the rest can be exchanged in India for a better rate.

SIM Card & Connectivity

SIM Card & Connectivity

Purchase a local SIM card (preferably Airtel) for better connectivity, as international roaming may be costly.

Medical Assistance Desk

Medical Assistance Desk

Visit the dedicated medical assistance desk at the airport for emergency support, guidance on medical visa queries, or hospital transfers.

After Arriving at Delhi Airport

Arrival assistance

Follow these important steps to ensure a smooth arrival and transition for your medical journey in India.

Request a wheelchair from airline staff if necessary.

Turn on Wi-Fi and connect to Airport Free WiFi.

Proceed to the Medical Visa Immigration Desk if on a medical visa for a shorter passenger queue.

For patients with Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), the visa will be issued upon arrival, ensuring it's an e-Medical Visa (not e-Tourist Visa).

Collect your check-in baggage after crossing immigration.

Approach the customs desk/officer if unsure about declaring any goods.

Exit from Gate #5 or Gate #6, take a left, and wait outside KFC; our executive will have a placard of Medivisor Health.

If the executive is not found, wait for some time; in case of significant delays, call 7042408473/9643015697 from a local Airtel phone booth outside Gate #5.

If hungry, pick up food/snacks from the airport restaurant/food point, especially crucial if arriving at night when guest house/hotel kitchens might be closed.

Safe travels, and we look forward to assisting you on your medical journey in India. If you have any further questions or need support, feel free to reach out. Take care and best wishes for a successful and comfortable stay.
