How should patients from Oman plan a cardiology consultation in Mumbai?
Planning a cardiac consultation at Lilavati International from Oman involves a few practical steps. The hospital's international patient-care support team can assist with coordination before and during the visit.
- Gather your cardiac records — Collect all relevant documents before travel: previous ECGs, echocardiography reports, angiography films or CDs, blood test results (including lipid profiles and HbA1c if diabetic), current medication list, and any surgical or procedure summaries.
- Share records in advance — Send digital copies of your reports to the Lilavati International team via the booking form on this page or by calling 022 69318050. Early sharing allows the cardiologist to review your history before the appointment and plan the diagnostic pathway efficiently.
- Apply for a medical visa — Oman residents travelling to India for medical treatment require an Indian Medical Visa (e-Medical Visa or Medical Visa). You will need a letter from Lilavati International confirming the appointment. The international patient support team can provide this documentation.
- Confirm your appointment — Book your consultation in advance. Emergency care is available 24/7 without an appointment, but elective cardiology consultations and planned diagnostic procedures benefit from prior scheduling.
- Arrange accommodation — Bandra West, Mumbai has a range of accommodation options within close proximity to the hospital at A-791, Bandra Reclamation Road.
- Plan for the consultation duration — A cardiology consultation and initial evaluation — including history review, physical examination, ECG, and basic diagnostics — typically takes a half to a full day. If additional imaging (echocardiography, CT, MRI) or catheter-based procedures are required, allow for additional days.
Tip: Bring original documents as well as digital copies. Some diagnostic centres in Mumbai require original films or CDs for review rather than printed reports alone.
| Document | Why It Is Needed |
|---|---|
| Passport (valid) | Required for hospital registration and visa |
| Indian Medical Visa | Mandatory for planned medical treatment in India |
| Previous cardiac reports and imaging | Enables cardiologist to review history and plan diagnostics |
| Current medication list | Avoids drug interactions and informs treatment planning |
| Referral letter (if available) | Supports visa application and specialist triage |
| Travel and health insurance documents | Required for insurance-linked billing or reimbursement |
