International Patient Service

ATTENTION MOST IMPORTANT

Most important aspect of taking treatment in India is getting a medical visa first before you start plan anything. To get the treatment in India medical visa is absolute necessity according to the central government of India since severe stricture and punishment is being awarded to the medical centers in India for treating patients without medical visa. No center will receive and entertain you for any treatment if you come on a non medical visa. To avoid disappointment and unnecessary expenditure medical visa is mandatory for taking treatment in India.
