India prices are typical ranges quoted by accredited hospitals for international patients. The Oman Price column is an indicative estimate of what comparable private treatment tends to cost — it is a guide for comparison, not a quoted local price, and actual prices in Oman vary widely by hospital and by case. Some procedures listed may not be routinely available locally at all. Your Indian hospital quotation is confirmed in writing before you travel.

FAQ for Oman Patients
Is medical treatment in India safe for Oman patients?
Yes. India has 38+ JCI-accredited hospitals — more than any country in Asia. Oman patients have been traveling to India for treatment for decades, with success rates matching or exceeding USA/UK standards.
How do I get a medical visa from Oman?
Oman is on India's e-Visa eligible list, so you can apply online for an e-Medical visa. e-Medical and e-Medical Attendant are US$80 each plus a 3% bank charge. For the paper MED visa the Embassy in Muscat publishes conflicting figures across two of its own live pages — OMR 30.200 / 45.200 with a service charge of OMR 2.340 on one, and OMR 30.100 / 45.200 with OMR 6.000 on another. Because of that conflict we do not publish a single figure; confirm the amount at the SGIVS centre before paying. See our full Oman visa guide for the document list and the exceptions that apply to you.
Can I get treatment in Arabic?
Yes. Our partner hospitals have multilingual coordinators. We also provide free interpreter services in Arabic during consultations and hospital stay.
How much can I save vs treatment in Oman?
Patients from Oman typically save 60–80% vs local prices. Even after flights and hotel, total cost is significantly lower for major procedures.
What about flight time and visa for accompanying family?
Flight time from Muscat to Delhi/Mumbai is approximately 3 hours. Up to 2 attendants get a Medical Attendant visa — we help with both applications.
