Send your reports and we come back with itemised estimates from two or three accredited hospitals.

Meet the surgeon first

A video call with the person who would actually operate, before you commit to flying anywhere.

You pay the hospital

Directly, into their own account. We never handle your treatment money.

The surgeon matters more here than anywhere else

In most specialties we shortlist on the hospital. In neurosurgery we shortlist on the surgeon, because outcomes track the individual and the unit's case volume far more closely than they track the building.

That changes how we work a case. We will often recommend a smaller hospital with the right neurosurgeon over a famous one without them.

What drives the cost

Whether the lesion is reachable, how much neuro-monitoring the operation needs, and what hardware goes in. In spinal work the number of levels fused and the implant system used move the price considerably.

Intensive care time is genuinely unpredictable in neurosurgery, which is why our estimates carry a wider range here than elsewhere.

The cost you cannot know in advance

For tumour surgery, the pathology result about a week after the operation determines whether you need radiotherapy or chemotherapy afterwards. That is the largest cost nobody can quote you up front.

Plan financially for the possibility. Waiting in India for the histology is usually the right call, because starting further treatment here is far easier than flying back for it.

Rehabilitation

Often needed, and it is a real cost and a real timeline rather than an afterthought. Some patients are better off doing several weeks of it in India before flying. We will include it in your estimate rather than letting you discover it.

Straight answers

Neurology questions

Will I need radiotherapy after tumour surgery?

Possibly. It depends entirely on what the pathology shows, which is known about a week after surgery. Budget for the possibility rather than being surprised by it.

Is Gamma Knife an alternative to open surgery?

For some tumours, particularly small, deep or surgically awkward ones. It needs no craniotomy and a much shorter stay. Whether it suits your case is a question for the neurosurgeon, and we will arrange that consultation.

Can deep brain stimulation be adjusted after I go home?

Programming needs adjustment over months. Discuss this before you commit, because for some patients DBS only makes sense if there is someone at home who can manage the follow-up.

How soon can I fly after brain surgery?

Generally two to three weeks, once your surgeon clears you.

No cost, no obligation

Tell us what's happening

A hospital cannot price your treatment without seeing your case. Send what you have, even a photograph of a piece of paper, and we will tell you what else is needed.

  • Your reports go only to hospitals you approve first, by name.
  • Stored encrypted, and deleted whenever you ask.
  • You pay the hospital directly. Never us.

Send your reports

A hospital cannot price your treatment without seeing your reports. Send them and we come back with itemised estimates from two or three hospitals — usually within 24 hours, or 48 for transplant and complex oncology.

This is how we will reach you. Include the country code.
Photographs of paper reports are fine. Scans on CD are best sent as the original image files. Stored encrypted, shared only with hospitals you approve.

We reply within about 15 minutes on WhatsApp during our covered hours. Read what we do with your data — we never sell it, and you can have it deleted at any time.
