Your Medical Journey to India Made Easy
Traveling for treatment can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make it simple. From what to pack, where to stay, and how to get around — our guide helps you and your family feel prepared, comfortable, and confident every step of the way.
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
Approach the airport help desk if there's confusion about the departure terminal and/or gate.
Currency Exchange
Convert 50-100 USD into Indian rupees; the rest can be exchanged in India for a better rate.
SIM Card & Connectivity
Purchase a local SIM card (preferably Airtel) for better connectivity, as international roaming may be costly.
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
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.
