Arrival
Clinic-arranged or pre-booked transfer from the airport, often with a bilingual coordinator meeting you directly.
Pre-op consultation
An in-person consultation confirming your treatment plan, often building on an earlier virtual consultation.
Procedure
At a JCI-accredited or nationally licensed facility, with the same major equipment brands used domestically.
Recovery
Often at a dedicated recovery house with nursing support, distinct from a standard hotel stay.
Departure and follow-up
Fly home once cleared, with virtual follow-up and records shared with your domestic physician if involved.

The Takeaway
Expect a structured, coordinated experience at established international-patient-focused facilities — this level of coordination is a genuine, consistent feature, not an exception.
