2. Referral letter: A letter from your treating cardiologist or physician in Mauritius summarising your diagnosis and reason for referral.
3. Medical visa (e-MV): Indian medical visas are required for planned treatment. Apply through the Indian High Commission in Mauritius. Emergency cases may enter on a tourist visa and convert status in-country.
4. Passport copies: Valid passport for the patient and one accompanying attendant (Indian medical visa allows one attendant).

When should a patient from Mauritius seek urgent cardiac care in Mumbai?

Seek immediate cardiac evaluation — either locally or by arranging urgent travel — if you experience any of the following:

• Chest pain or pressure lasting more than 15 minutes, especially if radiating to the arm, jaw, or back
• Sudden breathlessness at rest or with minimal exertion
• Unexplained fainting or loss of consciousness
• Palpitations accompanied by dizziness or near-collapse
• Swelling of both legs with breathlessness (possible heart failure)
• A known heart condition that has worsened despite current medication
• An inconclusive or abnormal cardiac test result requiring specialist review

For non-urgent but complex cardiac conditions — such as valve disease, coronary artery disease requiring intervention, or arrhythmia management — a planned consultation at Lilavati International allows thorough pre-procedure evaluation and reduces risk.
