Once you have decided to travel, its time to ensure the following :

• Procure a Visa Invitation clearly indicating the purpose of travel, duration of treatment & approximate duration of stay from the hospital & carry the same at all times during the journey.
• Check if you need any vaccination(s) - usually patients traveling to India would need Yellow Fever & Oral Polio Vaccines.
• Apply for the requisite visa (If your county is not offered Visa on Arrival).
• Ensure all medical reports are placed together in a bag safely, preferably carry the same in hand baggage (sometimes checked baggage is delayed / lost).
• Check on the Local Weather and chose clothing accordingly.
• Ensure you carry comfortable pair of footwears.
• For patients who are on medication - they must carry medication along with them for at-least 4 days.
• Prepare a brief history of illness indicating month & year of symptoms etc., also include family history of disease(s).
• Check with airlines for any forms / declaration they would like you to fill before your travel. In case of patients with special needs like wheelchair, it is advised to indicate the same while booking the tickets.
• Share the detailed itinerary with the hospital representative, look for the Zydus Hospitals Placard in your name.
