Current accreditation
NABH at minimum; JCI for anything involving transplant or paediatric surgery. We check the certificate expiry every quarter, not once at signing.

Eleven hospitals. Not the eleven that pay the most.
India has more than sixty private hospitals courting international patients. We work with eleven. Here is the selection standard, the list, and the consultants behind it.
How a hospital gets on this list
Five conditions. All five, or we don't refer.
Published outcome data
The unit must share procedure volumes, mortality and infection rates with us annually — and let us pass them to you. Three hospitals have refused. They aren't here.
Fixed-price contracting
A written package price that survives discharge, with a named per-day rate for overruns. No "we'll see how it goes".
Real interpreter capacity
Staff interpreters on the wards, not a phone line. Arabic and French at every partner; Russian, Swahili, Bangla and Dari at most.
A complaint that goes somewhere
A named international-patient director who answers us within four hours, and an escalation path above them that we have actually used.
And one disqualifier
Any hospital that offers us a commission scaled to the value of your treatment is removed from the list that day. We take a flat coordination fee per admitted patient, and nothing else — which is why we can tell you to choose the cheaper hospital.
The network
Four we send most patients to
The other seven cover specific specialities — paediatric cardiac, ophthalmology, ENT and rehabilitation. Ask and we'll send the full list with their outcome data attached.
Multi-speciality · 710 beds
Aurum Institute of Medical Sciences
Saket, South India · 40 minutes from the international airport
Our default referral for adult cardiac and complex orthopaedics. Nine cardiac theatres, a dedicated 44-bed cardiac ICU, and the highest bypass volume of any private unit we work with. International patients get a separate admissions floor, which sounds like marketing but in practice saves about two hours on arrival day.

Oncology & haematology · 380 beds
Kalindi Cancer Centre
Rohini, North West India · 55 minutes from the international airport
A dedicated cancer hospital rather than an oncology wing, which shows in the infrastructure: two CyberKnife units, on-site molecular pathology with a four-day turnaround, and a twelve-bed HEPA-filtered transplant unit. Their tumour board meets twice weekly and will include your home oncologist by video if you ask.

Yamuna Liver & Renal Institute
Gurugram, India · 30 minutes from the international airport
Living-donor liver and kidney transplantation, with an authorisation committee that meets weekly rather than monthly — which is the single biggest determinant of how long a transplant case actually takes. Donor safety programme is the most rigorous we have audited, and their donor complication rate is published.

Chandni Neuro & Child Institute
Dwarka, South West India · 25 minutes from the international airport
Intra-operative MRI, awake craniotomy with speech mapping, and a paediatric epilepsy programme that takes referrals from across South Asia. Also the only partner with a parent hostel on campus — small thing, enormous difference on a six-week paediatric admission.
