Travelling With a Companion
- Many New Zealand patients travel with a partner or family member, and we encourage it.
A companion can sit in on consultations, help take notes, support you through the recovery days, and explore Delhi while you rest.
What to Expect
A companion is welcome on the trip. During clinical appointments, your companion can be present for consultations and planning discussions, which many patients find helpful for remembering the detail afterwards. During the procedure itself, your companion waits in the clinic's reception area.
Your companion needs their own visa and their own travel arrangements. If they are not travelling for medical treatment, the medical e-Visa category may not apply to them, they should confirm the appropriate visa category for their own trip.

How a Companion Can Help
1. At consultations, sit in on the assessment and planning discussion, take notes, and help you weigh the plan.
2. On surgery day, accompany you to the clinic and wait nearby; help you back to your accommodation afterwards.
3. Through recovery, help with soft meals, medication timing, and getting to follow-up appointments.
4. Day-to-day, manage practical errands so you can rest in the days right after surgery.
5. On open days, explore Delhi together once your recovery permits.

Accommodation Near the Clinics
We treat from two Delhi locations, Greater Kailash (GK) and Netaji Subhash Place (NSP), and recommend staying near whichever clinic holds your appointments. Confirm with your coordinator which location you are scheduled at before booking, so your companion is not commuting across the city on appointment days. Couples and families can choose accommodation that suits both of you for the length of the stay.
Curious about costs and timelines?
Sightseeing While You Recover
On the open days between appointments, a companion can explore Delhi or take short trips while you rest:
- In Delhi, Red Fort, Humayun's Tomb, India Gate, Connaught Place, and Chandni Chowk.
- Day trips, Agra and the Taj Mahal (around a 4-hour drive, or roughly 2 hours by train); Jaipur (around a 5-hour drive).
We suggest keeping the days immediately after surgery for rest, with sightseeing reserved for the settled open days once you feel comfortable.

Coordination With Your Care
If your companion attends consultations, they hear the same plan and after-care instructions you do, which helps once you are home. Your coordinator can confirm appointment times so your companion can plan the recovery support and any sightseeing around your clinical days.
