What the videos cover

Reading about medical travel is one thing; seeing it is another. These short explainers walk through the questions families ask before they commit to treatment abroad, in the order they usually ask them.

How a case review works

What happens between sending your scans and receiving doctor options, and why nothing is shared with a hospital until you agree.

Arriving in India

The arrival videos cover the practical detail that worries families most: who meets you at the airport, how admission works, where attendants stay, what the first 48 hours look like, and how your coordinator keeps everyone updated while you are in theatre or recovery.

There is also a short segment on going home, covering the discharge summary your local doctor will need, medication plans, and how follow-up teleconsultations with the treating specialist are arranged once you are back.

FAQ

Common questions

Do the videos replace speaking to a coordinator?

No. They explain the process so your first conversation can be about your case rather than the basics. Every case still gets an individual review.

Are the costs shown in the videos guaranteed?

No. All figures are indicative ranges. A hospital issues a verified estimate once a specialist has reviewed your reports.

How long is each video?

The explainers are deliberately short, generally a few minutes each, so you can watch the one section that matters to you.

Do I need to watch them before contacting you?

Not at all. You can send your reports straight away and a coordinator will walk you through anything you want to understand.

Do the videos cover the India e-Medical Visa?

Yes. One segment covers the invitation letter, the online application, documents needed and typical approval times of two to five business days.

Is Arodya's service free for patients?

Yes. Case review, hospital options, cost estimates and coordination cost you nothing. Hospitals pay our fee.

Can family members travel with the patient?

Yes. Up to two attendants can apply for e-Medical Attendant visas, and we help arrange accommodation for them near the hospital.

Do you choose the hospital for me?

No. We present verified options with surgeon experience, accreditation and timelines. The final choice of hospital and doctor is yours.

How quickly can treatment be scheduled?

Leading private hospitals in India typically schedule surgery within a few days to two weeks of arrival, and prioritise time-critical cases.

What languages is support available in?

Coordination is in English, and interpreters can be arranged for consultations, consent discussions and discharge instructions in a range of languages.

Are patient stories in the videos real?

Any patient material is shared with consent. We do not publish identifiable clinical details without permission.

What happens after I return home?

Discharge summaries and care instructions go to your local physician, and teleconsultations with the treating specialist are arranged for follow-up.
