How long do I need to stay in India for cancer treatment?

The duration varies: simple surgery takes 10–15 days, radiation therapy takes 3–7 weeks, chemotherapy cycles each take 3–5 days, and bone marrow transplantation requires 4–8 weeks. Your hospital provides the exact time frame during consultation.

Can I bring a family member with me?

Yes, hospitals strongly encourage it. Family members apply for attendant visas and can stay with you throughout treatment. Most hospitals accommodate patient-caregiver pairs in single rooms.

What documents do I need for a medical visa?

Valid passport, completed application, hospital confirmation letter, medical documents, proof of funds, and flight tickets. Processing takes 3-5 business days.

Will the hospital help arrange airport pickup?

Most major hospitals offer complimentary airport pickup for international patients when coordinated in advance.

How do I handle medications after returning to Ghana?

Hospitals provide a 1-2 month supply of essential medications. Request generic prescriptions for easier local sourcing. International pharmacies can ship unavailable drugs to Ghana or coordinate with the Indian hospital pharmacy.

Can my local doctor coordinate with the Indian hospital?

Yes, most Indian hospitals actively encourage this collaboration through detailed reports, email consultations, and telemedicine appointments, including both doctors.

Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of?

Well-regarded hospitals give out thorough assessments. Possible additions to these costs include additional days in the hospital due to complications, extra surgeries that may or may not be planned, or time in intensive care, as credited if needed. Always ask for an itemised breakdown of costs and what is included and excluded.

How do I choose the best hospital?

Evaluate JCI/NABH accreditation, specialist expertise in your cancer type, available technology, international patient services, transparent pricing, and patient testimonials. Contact 2-3 hospitals for comparison before deciding.

What about language barriers?

English is widely spoken in Indian medical settings. Doctors, nurses, and hospital staff communicate effectively in English, making it comfortable for Ghanaian patients.
