Practical Advice

Recovery Tips for Travelling Patients

1Stay near the hospital — choose accommodation within 15–20 minutes of your treating hospital to simplify daily reviews and emergency access.
2Arrange a companion — having a family member or trusted person with you significantly improves recovery outcomes and reduces anxiety.
3Follow all post-operative instructions — medication schedules, wound care, activity restrictions, and dietary guidance must be followed precisely.
4Plan your return flight with surgeon clearance — do not book a return flight until your surgeon confirms you are medically fit to fly.
5Keep emergency contact details — save your hospital's 24/7 helpline, your Arodya coordinator's number, and nearest hospital address at your home country.
