In short
Patients from Afghanistan often need concierge-style support for visas, travel and interpretation given more complex logistics. Renaid arranges the free opinion, hospital and doctor matching, medical visa guidance, travel and recovery — as a facilitator, never as a clinic. Clinical decisions rest with your treating doctors in India.
1. Why Afghanistan patients choose India
Patients from Afghanistan often need concierge-style support for visas, travel and interpretation given more complex logistics.
2. Medical visa & documents
We recommend confirming current Indian medical visa requirements for Afghan nationals directly with the relevant authority given evolving circumstances. Requirements can change, so we recommend confirming current medical visa requirements with the relevant Indian consulate or embassy serving Afghanistan for your specific circumstances.
3. Travel & arrival
Once your hospital and treatment dates are confirmed, we help coordinate flights to Ahmedabad / Delhi NCR, airport pickup and accommodation suited to your treatment location and recovery needs.
4. Common treatments sought by Afghanistan patients
- Oncology
- Cardiac care
- Orthopedic surgery
- Transplant
5. Costs & what to expect
Treatment costs depend on your diagnosis, hospital, city and length of stay. We never promise a fixed saving or guaranteed price — after specialist review, the hospital provides a realistic estimate, explained clearly by your coordinator.
6. After you return to Afghanistan
Before you leave India, your specialist provides discharge summaries and follow-up instructions, which we can help share with your doctor at home. Where useful, we coordinate video follow-up consultations so distance doesn't interrupt your recovery.

What Renaid Can Coordinate for Afghanistan Patients
- Specialist review of your medical reports
- Hospital and doctor matching for your condition
- Medical visa guidance specific to your country
- Travel, accommodation and airport assistance
- Interpreter support, where needed
- Post-treatment follow-up coordination
Why Afghanistan Patients Choose a Facilitator
Coordinating hospital selection, medical visa requirements, travel and accommodation independently — from another country, often while managing a health condition — can be difficult. A single coordinator who understands both the destination and your starting point can reduce that burden, while all clinical decisions remain with your treating doctors in India.
Currency & Cost Planning
Treatment estimates from Indian hospitals are typically provided in Indian Rupees (INR) or US Dollars. If you're budgeting from Afghan Afghani (AFN), ask your coordinator to confirm costs in a currency you can compare against directly, and build in a buffer for exchange-rate movement between quote and payment.

- Passport valid for at least 6 months
- Existing medical reports, imaging and prescriptions
