Artemis Hospital in Sector 51, Gurugram, treats a large number of patients who fly in specifically for treatment, and this page is about that journey rather than the hospital brochure: what the international patient route involves, how to read a quotation, and what to organise from Bengaluru before you travel.

The route, in order

Records first. Send discharge summaries, imaging on disc, pathology slides or blocks where cancer is involved, recent blood tests and a full medicine list. A department reviews them and returns a written opinion with a proposed plan.

Quotation second, itemised rather than a single figure. Then the visa invitation letter, issued by the hospital naming the patient, the treatment and the expected dates, which supports a medical visa application. Apply for an attendant visa at the same time.

Flights third. Accommodation fourth, booked with room to extend. Arrive two to three days ahead of the planned admission so that pre-operative tests and the anaesthetic review happen without pressure.

The usual failure is booking flights on the strength of a phone call. Then a test is missing, a device has to be ordered, or the surgeon is away, and a fortnight of accommodation is wasted.

Reading the quotation

Six lines determine whether the number holds. The room category. The number of intensive care days assumed and the daily rate beyond them. Whether implants, stents or a prosthesis are included, and which brand. Whether pre-admission investigations are inside the package. Whether consultant fees are separate. And what happens financially if a complication extends the stay.

For cancer, ask the cost per chemotherapy cycle and the number of cycles planned. For transplant, ask for the donor work-up quoted separately and for the first post-transplant year to be costed, since that is routinely omitted.

Common questions

Where exactly is Artemis Hospital?

In Sector 51, Gurugram, in the Delhi National Capital Region, about forty minutes from Indira Gandhi International Airport in normal traffic and outside Delhi city itself.

How do I start the process from Bengaluru?

Send a summary of the diagnosis with discharge summaries, imaging, pathology and recent blood tests to the international desk. You should receive a written opinion, a treatment plan and an itemised quotation before booking travel.

What is a visa invitation letter and when is it issued?

A letter naming the patient, the planned treatment and expected dates, used to support a medical visa application. It is issued once the plan is agreed, so allow time for the visa process afterwards.

Can a family member travel with me?

Yes, medical visa regimes generally allow one or two attendants on linked visas. Apply for these at the same time as the patient's visa, because adding an attendant afterwards takes longer.

What should the quotation include?

Room category, assumed intensive care days and the rate beyond them, named implants or devices, whether pre-admission tests and consultant fees are included, and what a complication would add to the total.

When should I arrive relative to surgery?

Two to three days before the planned admission, which allows blood tests, imaging and the anaesthetic review to be completed without pushing back the theatre date.

How are payments handled?

Quotations are usually payable before admission, with the balance settled at discharge and unused deposits refunded. Confirm accepted currencies and transfer details in writing, and keep all receipts for insurance.

Are interpreters available?

Yes, for the commoner languages among the hospital's international patients. Ask specifically for an interpreter at consent discussions, where accuracy matters most.

How long should I budget in India?

About two weeks for routine surgery, three to four weeks after cardiac surgery, several consecutive weeks for radiation therapy, and months for transplant. Keep accommodation extendable rather than fixed.

What costs are not on the hospital quotation?

Local transport, food, an attendant's accommodation, medicines bought after discharge, extra days beyond the planned stay, and the follow-up year at home, which is a substantial cost after transplant.

Where should I stay during treatment?

The Gurugram sectors near the hospital or along Golf Course Road. Serviced apartments are better value than hotels beyond a week, and a kitchen helps with post-operative dietary restrictions.

What records should I take home to Bengaluru?

Discharge summary, operation note, histopathology and molecular reports, imaging on disc, exact drug and dose records, implant or valve cards, and a written follow-up schedule with a named local doctor who has agreed to it.
