There is an increase in upward trend of Saudi nationals who are now flying to India for their world class medical treatment. Here’s why:
Quality of treatment
The quality of treatment that the wide range of Indian hospitals offer are one of the best in the world. For many specialized treatments that need precision and high level care like Neurology, Spine surgery, Dental procedures, Liver and Kidney transplants, Cancer treatment, Orthopedic surgery, the doctors in India receive recommendations from doctors globally including United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia and more to take up these delicate cases for which the Indian doctors have the specialization.
Which hospitals are they heading to?
Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Apollo hospital, Medanta and Max hospitals in Gurgaon and Delhi region, Apollo hospital, Yashoda hospital and Medicover hospitals in Hyderabad, Fortis hospital, Apollo hospital, Jaslok hospital and Saifee hospital in Mumbai are to name a few of the primarily selected hospitals by Saudi nationals when they travel to India for their treatment.

Is there a price advantage?
The second reason after the quality of treatment offered by the Indian doctors is the pricing advantage. Example: if a knee replacement cost for a patient in Germany is approximately US $ 10,000-15,000, the cost at the best hospital in India would be US $ 5,000. This would be the cost for a US implant being used like Stryker or Johnson & Johnson.
What about the barrier for speaking Arabic language in India?
Indians offer a wide range of fluent and well spoken Arabic language translators who assist patients when they travel to India for their treatment. This lessens the communication gap between the patient and the doctor and helps to easily enable them to communicate freely.
What about the accommodation, security and food?
There are very good budget hotels available near the hospital which cater to accommodate the International patients while they are in India. The city and the country is absolutely safe which at any given point of time hosts several thousands of foreign patients who are in India either for treatment or for business.
What about the medical visa, receiving at the airport?
The patient’s family may contact us on our WhatsApp Number +91 9818 2373 91 and our Arabic department team will assist the patients to get the cost and the treatment’s plan before the patient travels to India.
The family will be assisted with the visa process with a medical visa invitation letter through which they can apply for the e-visa online through the Indian Embassy’s website. Once the family books their ticket, they need to share their tickets with us so that we can arrange a complimentary pick-up for them from the airport.
