How it works for Fijian patients

One coordinated pathway, from your reports to your discharge

Fiji's Ministry of Health and Medical Services refers patients overseas when treatment is not available at home, and India is a destination for complex cardiac, cancer and surgical cases. Because Fiji is the farthest region we serve, planning and early document preparation matter most.

Referred cases

We coordinate hospital matching, the written plan, visa documents and admission once an Overseas Referral Committee case reaches us.

Paediatric cardiac care

Congenital heart cases are a significant part of our Pacific work. Read the case study of a Fiji to Chennai paediatric cardiac referral.

Follow-up from home

Tele-consultation check-ins after discharge, with records shared with your referring doctor in Fiji.

Visa, travel and practical details

What to plan before you leave Fiji

Visa route

We arrange the hospital invitation letter and Medical Reference Number early, and confirm the route that applies to your passport. Applications can be made well ahead of travel, so start as soon as the plan is confirmed.

Getting there

This is a long-haul journey, typically with one or two stops. We plan flights, airport transfers and accommodation so a family with a sick child is not managing logistics alone.

Attendants

A parent or guardian can travel as an approved attendant alongside a child patient, on a medical attendant visa linked to the child's hospital letter.

Currency

Costs are quoted in USD; the table shows approximate FJD figures for planning.

Visa rules and appointment availability change. This page is general guidance, not immigration advice — confirm current requirements with official sources and your case manager. See our full medical visa guide.
