Before treatment: get a second opinion if anything about your diagnosis or recommended treatment is unclear — a good specialist welcomes informed questions, not just compliance.
Verify credentials, don't assume them: ask about your hospital's accreditation (NABH/JCI) and your surgeon's specific experience with your exact procedure, not just their general reputation.
During your stay: keep a written or photographed record of every medication given and every instruction from staff — useful if anything needs to be checked later, by you or a doctor back home.
Before you fly home: get discharge instructions in writing, confirm what symptoms would require urgent local care after you leave India, and get contact details for follow-up questions.

How do I know if a hospital is properly accredited?
Ask directly for their NABH and/or JCI accreditation status — see our hospital accreditation guide for what these credentials actually verify.
What should I do if I'm unsure about a recommended treatment?
Ask for the reasoning behind it, and don't hesitate to request a second opinion — coordinating one is something we can help arrange.
What's the single most useful safety habit while abroad for treatment?
Keeping your own written record of medications, instructions and contacts — don't rely solely on memory or the hospital's records once you've returned home.
