From outside India
An opinion you can act on from anywhere
Most people who write to us from abroad do not need to travel. They need someone to read the file properly and say what it means. That happens remotely, in writing. The first call is free; the opinion itself has a published fee.
Three routes
You do not have to fly to get an answer
Remote written opinion
Records reviewed, pathology re-read, molecular strategy stated. Delivered by email in English. Turnaround is per format and is published in the table; the clock starts when the file is complete, not when you pay. No travel at all.
Remote board review
Your case listed at a full multidisciplinary board with a video consultation afterwards, scheduled to your time zone. The signed plan is written to be used by your own doctors at home.
Travel for treatment
Where treatment in India genuinely makes sense, we plan it before you book a flight, costed, sequenced, with the facility named and the rate agreed.
If you do travel, it is planned first
The commonest failure in medical travel is arriving with an appointment and no plan, then discovering that the scan needs repeating, the blocks were left behind and the quotation was for one part of the course.
Remote review before you commit
We tell you whether travel is justified. Frequently it is not, and we say so.
A costed plan for the whole course
Not the first admission. Total, in writing, with what is excluded named.
Visa documentation
We prepare the clinical documentation a medical visa application needs: the diagnosis summary, the proposed treatment, the expected duration and the estimated cost. The formal invitation letter is issued by the facility admitting you, and we coordinate it.
Arrival sequenced
Appointments, imaging and admission ordered so no day is wasted, with accommodation options near the centre.
A named navigator for the stay
One person, one number, including for the family at home in a different time zone.
A handover home
A discharge and continuation plan written for your own doctors, in English, with the drugs named generically as well as by brand. Continued navigator support afterwards is available as a separate service.
Practical
The questions we are actually asked
Whatever you have, the biopsy report, discharge summaries, the most recent scan report, and the drugs you are on. Photographs of paper are fine. We tell you within one working day what is missing and whether it can be obtained where you are.
International fees are quoted and settled in USD by bank transfer, against an invoice issued before the work starts. The band is published on the opinion formats table. It covers the review and the written opinion only: any assay, imaging, courier or block-retrieval cost is billed by the provider that performs it, and we tell you the amount before it is incurred. The orientation call is free wherever you are.
Often yes, digitised whole-slide images are enough for many pathology questions, and many centres abroad will provide them. Where physical blocks are genuinely needed for molecular work, we tell you before you ship anything, and we handle the courier and the tracking. Testing is done by our molecular partner .
Only if you ask us to. The opinion is yours. Many patients send it to their treating team themselves; with your written consent your navigator will write or speak to them directly, which is usually the smoother route.
We are open Mon–Sat, 10 am–8 pm India time. Late afternoon here covers the Gulf, East Africa, the UK and Europe comfortably; the morning covers Southeast Asia and Australia. North America is the awkward one, since a 7 pm India slot is only mid-morning on the US east coast, so those are arranged individually. Tell the navigator your city on the free call and we will find a real slot rather than a theoretical one.
Only where it changes the answer. For a standard regimen available at home, travelling costs money and time and separates you from your family for no clinical gain, and we will tell you that. Where a procedure, a trial or a level of expertise genuinely is not available to you locally, that is a different conversation and we will make the case in writing.
Start with the free call
Fifteen minutes, no charge, scheduled to your time zone. If a review here will not help you, we will say so on that call.
