- On arrival:
Medical preparation: gather existing reports, imaging, prescriptions and treatment history; share these early so a specialist can review your case before you travel, rather than after you arrive.
Practical preparation: confirm your medical visa, book flights only once your hospital and treatment dates are confirmed, and arrange accommodation suited to your recovery needs, not just your budget.
Personal preparation: if a family member is travelling with you, confirm their attendant visa and role during your stay; pack any regular medications you take, with a note of dosages in English.
On arrival: keep physical and digital copies of every document together, and register with the FRRO if your stay requires it — your coordinator will confirm if this applies to you.

Frequently asked
How far in advance should I start preparing?
As soon as you’re considering treatment — sharing reports early gives a specialist time to review your case properly before travel dates are locked in.
What should I pack that people often forget?
Copies of prescriptions with dosages spelled out, a note of any drug allergies, and a spare set of passport photos for on-the-ground paperwork.
Do I need to prepare differently for a longer stay?
Yes — longer or multi-stage treatment (like chemotherapy or IVF) benefits from accommodation booked with flexibility and a clearer recovery-stay plan from the outset.
