How to shortlist hospitals (fast, expat-first)
Direct answer: Use a simple filter: (1) emergency route time from your home, (2) accreditation references (where available), and (3) whether the hospital routinely handles expat-style needs (insurance, documentation, predictable billing). Reviews can help, but do not use reviews as the only filter. For a hospital-by-hospital breakdown, see the best hospitals on Golf Course Road.
| Filter | Why it matters | |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency route | In real emergencies, minutes matter more than ratings. | |
| Accreditation (NABH/JCI) | A reference point for quality systems, not a guarantee. | |
| Billing predictability | Reduces stress when you are new to India and insurance paperwork is unfamiliar. |
Pharmacies and medicines (safe defaults)
Direct answer: In India, many medicines require prescriptions. Avoid self-medicating prescription drugs and ask a doctor or pharmacist. Keep a list of allergies and current medication names in your phone for faster care.
If you are uncertain about a medication, do not guess. Use a doctor or a licensed pharmacist. Keep packaging and prescriptions for reference.
