Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started with medical treatment in India from Africa?

Share your details and any medical reports you have. Our doctor-led team reviews your case and responds with next steps.

Is there any charge for Zivanta's medical treatment guidance?

No. Zivanta does not charge patients for hospital shortlisting, cost estimates or travel coordination, and there is no obligation to proceed. Partner hospitals pay Zivanta a referral fee.

Can I get a second opinion from Indian doctors before deciding on treatment?

Yes, we can send your reports to more than one accredited hospital in India so you can compare treatment plans and costs.

Do you help with medical visas for India from Nigeria, Ghana or Kenya?

Yes, once a hospital accepts your case, we provide a visa support letter and help you plan flights, accommodation and airport pickup.

Can a family member travel with me for medical treatment in India?

Yes, attendant visas are common for medical travel, and we help arrange documentation and accommodation for your companion too.

What medical reports do I need to prepare for treatment in India?

Recent diagnostic reports, scans, prescriptions and discharge summaries help most. If you don’t have them yet, we can still begin.

How much does medical treatment in India cost compared to Africa?

Zivanta is founded by doctors, so being upfront about costs matters to us. You pay the hospital directly, based on a clear estimate we share with you before you travel. Zivanta does not charge patients any fee. Our partner hospitals pay Zivanta a referral fee when a patient chooses them; this does not change the price you pay the hospital.

What follow-up care do I get after returning home from India?

Your coordinator stays reachable for follow-up questions and can arrange remote review with your treating doctor.

How long do international patients need to stay in India for treatment?

It depends on the treatment and recovery time. Your estimate will include the expected hospital stay and recommended time before flying home.

Which hospitals in India does Zivanta partner with for international patients?

We work with NABH and JCI accredited hospitals across India, including Apollo, Fortis, Max and BLK-Max, chosen for proven outcomes and international patient services.

Are Zivanta's partner hospitals internationally accredited?

Yes. Our partner hospitals hold NABH and/or JCI accreditation, meeting recognised standards for safety and patient care.

Can I get treatment cost estimates before travelling to India from Africa?

Yes, once you share your case details, our team returns itemised estimates from accredited hospitals so you know the expected cost before committing to travel.

Does Zivanta help with airport pickup and accommodation in India?

Yes. Once your treatment dates are confirmed, we help arrange airport pickup, nearby accommodation and local travel around your appointments.

How do I choose the right doctor or hospital in India for my condition?

Share your medical details and our doctor-led team matches you with a specialist and hospital suited to your specific condition. You are not choosing alone.

What happens after I submit my enquiry to Zivanta?

Your case is reviewed by our medical team, and you will receive hospital and specialist options along with clear next steps, usually within 24 hours.

Is my medical information kept confidential when I contact Zivanta?

Yes. Your details are shared only with the partner hospitals and coordinators involved in preparing your quote, with your consent.

Can I compare treatment options from multiple hospitals in India?

Yes, we can route your case to more than one accredited hospital so you can compare clinical plans and costs side by side.

Do I need to travel with printed medical reports, or can I share them online?

You can share your reports digitally when you enquire. If you don’t have them yet, we can still begin the process and advise what's needed.

How do I apply for an e-Medical Visa for India?

You apply online through the Indian government's e-visa portal, using the invitation letter from your chosen hospital. Our team guides you on the documents, photo and passport requirements so the application goes smoothly.

How long does it take to get a medical visa for India?

Processing time varies by country and season, but e-Medical Visas are often approved within a few working days once your documents are complete. We recommend applying well before your planned travel date.

How long is the Indian medical visa valid?

The e-Medical Visa is a short-stay visa, and its validity and number of entries are set by the Indian government. Your coordinator will confirm the current rules for your nationality and help you extend the stay if your treatment needs it.

Can more than one family member travel with the patient?

Attendant visas are usually granted for close family members accompanying the patient. The number allowed depends on current visa rules, and we help prepare the documents for each companion.

Is India safe for international patients?

Yes. Millions of international patients have travelled to India for treatment. Our coordinator arranges your airport pickup, stay and hospital visits, so you are supported from arrival to departure.

What languages are spoken at the hospitals?

English is widely used in Indian hospitals, and our partner hospitals work with international patient teams. We also arrange a translator for patients who need one, including during consultations.

Will a translator be available during my consultation?

Yes. We arrange a dedicated language translator for hospital visits, so you can understand your diagnosis, treatment plan and instructions clearly.

What is the best time of year to travel to India for treatment?

Treatment is available all year round. Many patients prefer October to March when the weather is cooler, but your travel date should mainly depend on your medical needs and your doctor's advice.

How do I pay for treatment in India?

You pay the hospital directly. Hospitals usually accept bank transfers, international cards and cash in the local currency. Your coordinator explains the payment process and any advance deposit before you travel.

Do I need to pay anything before I travel?

Some hospitals ask for an advance deposit once your treatment plan is confirmed. This is paid to the hospital, not to Zivanta, and the amount is shown clearly in your estimate.

What if my treatment cost changes after I arrive?

Costs can change if the doctors find a new medical need or if your stay becomes longer. The hospital will explain any change and the reason for it, and your coordinator helps you understand it before you decide.

Does medical insurance from my home country cover treatment in India?

This depends on your insurance provider and policy. Some insurers cover treatment abroad, and many patients pay privately. We can give you an itemised estimate and hospital documents to share with your insurer.

Can I speak to the doctor before I travel?

Yes. We can arrange a video consultation with the treating specialist so you can discuss your case and ask questions before you decide to travel.

Can I get a second opinion if I have already been told I need surgery?

Yes. Many patients contact us for a second opinion after a diagnosis. Share your reports, and our doctors will review them and let you know the options available in India.

What happens if I need emergency care during my stay?

Our partner hospitals have 24×7 emergency departments, and your coordinator will help you and your family with the next steps.

How do I get my medical records back home after treatment?

The hospital gives you a discharge summary, test reports, scans and prescriptions before you leave. We can also send copies digitally, so your doctor at home has everything for follow-up care.

Can I continue my medicines after returning home?

Your doctor will give you a clear prescription and advice on how long to continue each medicine. We help you share this with your doctor at home so your follow-up care continues smoothly.

Is vegetarian, halal or special diet food available?

Yes. Most partner hospitals can provide meals based on your dietary needs. Tell your coordinator in advance, and we help arrange suitable food during your hospital stay and accommodation.

Where will my family stay while I am in hospital?

We help arrange nearby accommodation based on your budget and comfort, including hotels and serviced apartments close to the hospital.

Do you help patients with cancer treatment in India?

Yes. We connect you with experienced oncologists for diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Share your reports, and our team will guide you on the next steps.

Can I get a liver or kidney transplant in India as a foreign patient?

Transplants for international patients follow strict legal and hospital procedures. Our team explains the evaluation process, documents and timeline once we review your case.

Do you provide IVF and fertility treatment support?

Yes. We help you find fertility specialists and explain the process, expected cost and stay. Share your details, and our team will guide you on suitable options.
