Medical tourism assistance

Travelling abroad for treatment is stressful enough. We take the travel side off your hands: medical visa files, tickets, accommodation near the hospital and transfers for the patient and attendants.

Please read first

We are a travel agency, not a healthcare provider. We do not give medical advice, do not recommend treatments or doctors, and cannot comment on whether any treatment is suitable for you. Choose your hospital and your doctor with your own physician guidance. We arrange the travel around the decision you have already made.

We do not accept commission driven referrals to any particular hospital, and no outcome of treatment can be promised by anyone arranging your journey.

What we arrange

Travel support for patients and attendants

Medical visa file

Preparation and submission of the medical visa application for the patient and accompanying attendants, using the hospital appointment or invitation letter.

Appointment coordination

We forward your reports to the hospital international patient desk and pass their reply back to you, so the appointment is fixed before you fly.

Air tickets

Flights timed around the appointment, with wheelchair, stretcher or medical clearance requests made to the airline where needed.

Accommodation

Hotels, service apartments or guest houses close to the hospital, in the budget range you choose, for stays of any length.

Airport and hospital transfers

Pick up on arrival and transport between accommodation and hospital for each appointment.

Interpreter and local help

Bangla speaking assistance on the ground where it is available, plus SIM, currency exchange and local guidance.

Process

How we work through a medical trip

Share the plan

Tell us the hospital or city you have chosen, the number of attendants and your preferred dates. Send the appointment or invitation letter if you already have it.

Visa and tickets

We prepare the medical visa file for everyone travelling, then book flights once the visa timeline is clear.

Stay and transfers

We confirm accommodation near the hospital and arrange arrival pick up, with the option to extend if treatment runs longer.

Documents

What to keep ready

Medical visa categories generally require more supporting paperwork than a tourist visa, and an attendant visa is tied to the patient application.

  • Passports of the patient and every attendant, valid at least six months
  • Local doctor referral or prescription describing the condition
  • Recent test reports and any earlier treatment records
  • Appointment or invitation letter from the hospital abroad
  • Proof of relationship between patient and attendants
  • Bank statement and solvency certificate covering the expected cost
  • National ID and photographs to the embassy specification
Questions

Common questions

Do you advise which hospital to choose?
No. We are a travel agency, not a healthcare provider. We do not give medical advice or recommend hospitals or doctors. Choose with your own physician's guidance and we will arrange the travel around that decision.
