Why Philippines Patients Choose India
Save 50-65% versus private hospitals in Manila, Cebu and Davao: a cardiac bypass, knee or hip replacement, or cancer treatment package in India typically costs less than half the price at top Filipino private facilities, even after flights and accommodation.
Filipino and English-speaking patient coordinators guide you end to end: Filipinos are among the world's most fluent English speakers, so consultations, reports, consent forms and discharge instructions are handled in English with no translation barrier, plus Tagalog-speaking liaisons for elderly relatives.
Simple e-Medical Visa for Filipino passport holders, approved online in 3-5 working days against a hospital invitation letter: our team prepares your application and books appointments before you fly from NAIA Manila.
Convenient one-stop routes from Manila, Cebu and Clark to Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru via Singapore, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur, typically 9-11 hours total, with airport pickup and hospital transfers arranged on arrival.
Access to JCI- and NABH-accredited hospitals for the specialties Filipinos travel for most: cardiac surgery and angioplasty, knee and hip replacement, spine surgery, cancer care, kidney and liver transplants, IVF and fertility treatment, and bariatric surgery, often with far shorter waiting times than at home.
Strong support for OFWs and their families: video consultations before travel, halal and Filipino-friendly meal options, churches and prayer rooms near major hospital hubs, and a large, welcoming Filipino diaspora community across Indian cities.
