Which are the best hospitals in India for patients from New Zealand?

The best hospital depends on your treatment and specialist. For New Zealand patients we shortlist NABH or JCI-accredited hospitals with international patient departments in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Mumbai, such as Max Healthcare, Medanta, Fortis, Apollo, Manipal, and Narayana Health, then compare written estimates in NZD.

The right specialist
Your surgeon's experience with your specific procedure matters more than the hospital's brand.
Clear, written costs
An itemised package estimate before you travel, with what is and is not included.
Location and recovery
Suitable accommodation near the hospital for you and your companion, and recovery options nearby.
Follow-up in New Zealand
Discharge summaries, imaging, and tele-consultations your GP and our New Zealand lead can work with.

Frequently asked

Which is the best hospital in India for patients from New Zealand?

There is no single best hospital; it depends on your treatment, the specialist, and your budget. Hospitals such as Max Healthcare, Medanta, Fortis, and Indraprastha Apollo in Delhi NCR, Manipal and Narayana Health in Bengaluru, and Apollo in Chennai all treat international patients regularly. We review your reports and recommend the best fit, with a written estimate in NZD.

Are hospitals in India accredited?

Many are. Leading Indian hospitals hold NABH accreditation (India's national hospital standard) and some also hold JCI accreditation (the international standard). We only refer to accredited hospitals and check current status before each referral.

How do I choose a hospital in India from New Zealand?

Start with your diagnosis and reports. We share them with suitable hospitals, arrange a tele-consultation with the specialist, and compare written estimates. Look for accreditation, an international patient department, a specialist experienced in your procedure, and clear costs. Our New Zealand-based lead can walk you through the options in your time zone.

Which city in India is best for medical treatment?

Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Mumbai are India's main medical hubs, each with several accredited multi-speciality hospitals. Delhi NCR is convenient for flights from New Zealand via major Asian hubs and is where our Delhi team is based.

Do hospitals in India speak English?

Yes. Doctors, nurses, and international patient teams at leading hospitals work in English, so you can discuss your treatment directly with your surgeon.

Do you have partnerships with hospitals?

We work with hospitals' international patient departments, but we do not have exclusive arrangements, so our recommendation is based on your case. Hospitals interested in working with us can visit our partner page.
