Common questions
Which scans are most useful?
Recent X-rays of the affected joint or spine and, if you have them, MRI or CT scans. Send the images as well as the written reports if you can.
How long will I stay in India after surgery?
It depends on the procedure and on your recovery, so only the hospital's doctors can say. Your coordinator can ask the hospital for the expected stay and rehabilitation plan, so you can plan travel and accommodation.
Can a family member travel with me?
Yes. Up to two people — usually close family members — can apply for India's e-Medical Attendant visa, which is linked to your medical visa. Your coordinator explains the steps.
I have another health condition. Should I mention it?
Yes. Tell us about other conditions, such as diabetes or heart problems, and the medicines you take. The hospital needs them to form its opinion.

Meridian Medical Access is a medical travel facilitator and does not itself provide medical care; treatment is delivered by partner hospitals. Nothing on this site or in our chat is medical advice. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
