Fortis Healthcare — International Patient Guide

What international patients should know about Fortis Healthcare

Fortis Healthcare is JCI and NABH accredited care across Gurgaon, Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata, with clinical strength in cardiac (fortis escorts), orthopaedics, neurosurgery, cancer. Overseas patients are handled through a dedicated international desk rather than the general outpatient queue, so appointments, admission and billing are arranged before you fly. Interpreters for Arabic, Bengali, French and Swahili speakers are arranged on request, and attendant accommodation can be booked close to the hospital.

The usual sequence is simple: you share existing reports and scans over WhatsApp or email, a specialist reviews them and issues a written treatment plan with an itemised estimate, and the hospital sends a visa invitation letter you can submit with your e-Medical Visa application. Our coordinators arrange airport pickup, admission, and the pharmacy and follow-up schedule for after discharge, and stay reachable in your time zone once you are back home.

Costs at Indian hospitals typically run 60–80% below equivalent private care in the US or UK, and estimates are quoted as a package that names what is included: surgeon and anaesthetist fees, implants or consumables, ward category, hospital stay and standard post-operative reviews. Complex cases, longer ICU stays and imported implants change the figure, which is why every estimate is issued against your own reports rather than a price list. See the treatment cost guides for current price bands, or the India medical visa guide for the paperwork.
