The Verdict
Private Hospitals (Apollo, Max, Fortis): World-class. Better than many NHS/US
hospitals. Extremely fast service (MRI in 2 hours!).
Cost: A fraction of US prices. A doctor consultation is ~$10-$20.
Public Hospitals: Avoid unless emergency. Often overcrowded.
Insurance
International travel insurance is accepted at all major private chains. Cashless entry is common.
