Frequently asked
Are India's hospitals accredited?
Many hospitals serving international patients hold NABH and/or JCI accreditation — see our hospital accreditation guide for what these mean.
Is English spoken in Indian hospitals?
English is widely used in India's healthcare sector, though interpreter support is available where useful.
What's the difference between a multi-specialty and super-specialty hospital?
Multi-specialty hospitals cover broad general and specialist care; super-specialty centres focus on complex, high-acuity care in specific areas.
Can I choose any hospital in India?
