Travel and Stay in India from Mozambique

Who books the flight?

The patient books the flight with the airline or a local agent once the visa is granted.

What does Jivo arrange before departure?

Before travel, Jivo guides the patient on the fit-to-fly certificate and on informing the airline, so that the airline's approval comes in time. Jivo also shares a pre-travel checklist, including the expected weather in Delhi for the travel dates, and offers budget accommodation options near the hospital, with their costs.

What happens on arrival?

Jivo organises the airport pickup in New Delhi.

How long does a Mozambican patient stay in India?

Plan on three to four weeks for CABG, for spinal decompression and fixation and for craniotomy for brain tumour. Tetralogy of Fallot repair and bilateral knee replacement each need four to five weeks. A kidney transplant needs eight to ten weeks and chemotherapy seven to nine; a bone marrow transplant from a matched sibling or family donor takes three to four months. These ranges are a guide, and the specialist confirms each patient's expected stay.

Who is with the patient in India?

In India, a Jivo case manager and a counterpart from the hospital team coordinate the day-to-day treatment steps and the patient's well-being, so someone is always with the patient.
