Associate hospitals

The hospitals behind every referral we make

We work with accredited Indian hospitals for Bangladesh referrals, and we name them openly. Each hospital has its own page setting out what it treats, how it handles international patients, and — where it matters — how the relationship is structured.

Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital

One speciality, at national scale, since 1957

An eye hospital and nothing else, which is the point. Dr Agarwals has done one speciality since 1957, and the volume that comes with 236 facilities is what a family travelling for a retina or a cornea case is actually buying.

  • 236 facilities across India and Africa, from a single Chennai hospital in 1957
  • Thirty-two facilities NABH accredited — we confirm which unit your case goes to
  • Cataract, cornea, retina, glaucoma, refractive and paediatric eye surgery

Fortis Healthcare

An integrated network you can check against a filing

A listed Indian healthcare group running hospitals, diagnostics and day-care speciality facilities. Because it reports to the stock exchanges every quarter, almost everything we tell you about its size can be checked against a filing rather than a brochure.

  • 36 facilities across 12 Indian states, including JVs and managed hospitals
  • Four JCI-accredited hospitals; 34 NABH accredited or certified
  • Visa requisition letters sent directly to the Indian mission

HCG Cancer Centres

Cancer, and nothing else, since 1989

A cancer hospital network and nothing else, which is the point. HCG has done one disease since 1989, and for a leukaemia or a bone marrow transplant that focus is the whole reason to travel here rather than to a general hospital with an oncology department.

  • 25 hospitals in 19 Indian cities across 10 states, plus a cancer centre in Nairobi
  • Twenty centres NABH accredited, two NABH certified — we confirm which unit your case goes to
  • Bone marrow transplant: autologous, allogeneic, haploidentical and cord blood

Manipal is one of India's largest multi-speciality hospital networks. For most of the families we work with, this is where the first opinion and the first written estimate come from.

  • Multi-speciality tertiary care across a national network
  • Dedicated international patient services desk
  • Transparent, published treatment packages

Built around one of the world's leading transplant surgeons

A 450-bed quaternary hospital in Chromepet, Chennai, opened in 2018 and built around Prof. Mohamed Rela's liver transplant programme. Almost a third of its beds are critical care, which is what a transplant or a liver failure case needs and what most hospitals do not have.

  • Liver, kidney, heart, lung, pancreas and bone marrow transplant programmes

Before you compare them

What each hospital does for a patient arriving from Dhaka is set out on its own page

Visas, airport transfer, interpreters, estimates, insurance and accommodation, under the same six headings on every hospital page — and left visibly blank where the hospital publishes nothing, rather than filled in from what a sister hospital happens to offer. The differences are real: only one hospital here says it keeps Bengali interpreters, one publishes its international page in Bengali, and none of them says a Bangladeshi insurance policy will be billed directly.

Read the short version of where they differ

Our standard

How a hospital ends up on this page

Most hospitals on this page are ones we have a signed representation or referral agreement with, and whose international patient desk we deal with directly. Where treatment support for a centre runs through a named partner channel instead — as with Apollo Proton Cancer Centre via Bangla Health Connect — that hospital's own page says so. We would rather publish a short list we can answer for than a long one we cannot.

A signed agreement, not a handshake

Scope, responsibilities and the referral process are documented before a single patient is introduced.

Accreditation we can point to

We publish each hospital's stated accreditations rather than gesturing at 'international standards'.

The diagnosis picks the hospital

Where a case is better handled at a centre we do not represent, we say so. A referral we should not have made costs more than the one we did not make.

Every case we send is registered with the hospital in writing before the first appointment — so the family always knows exactly who is treating them, and why.

Additional centres of excellence

Where a case is better handled somewhere we do not represent, we say so and route it to the right hospital — the recommendation follows the diagnosis, never the fee.

Not sure which hospital is right for your case?

Send the reports. We will tell you which of our associate hospitals is the best fit — and if none of them is, we will tell you that too.

We respond to every enquiry within 24 hours.
