01Can a hospital review records before travel?
Hospitals commonly begin with available records and may request more information or a tele-consultation. The hospital decides whether the information is sufficient for an initial response.
02When should flights be booked?
Wait for the hospital's review, expected dates, visa route, and written travel guidance. Avoid non-refundable arrangements while important details remain open.
03How is follow-up organised?
Before leaving, obtain the discharge summary, medicine list, test results, warning signs, and hospital contact. Share these with the local doctor who will continue care.
