Get Free ConsultationShort flights from Malé to south Indian cities make India a practical choice for Maldivian patients who need specialist care that is not available on the islands. MedTrav coordinates directly with referred cases and with families arranging care themselves.
For cases referred through the Maldivian health system, we coordinate hospital matching, appointments and reporting once the referral reaches us.
If you are arranging treatment yourself, we provide the same specialist review, written estimate and logistics.
Because flights are short, we sequence tests, procedure and follow-up to keep time away from home to a minimum.
We arrange the hospital invitation letter and Medical Reference Number, and confirm the correct visa category for your passport before you apply.
Flights from Malé to south Indian cities take roughly one and a half to three and a half hours. Your coordinator books the airport pickup and first appointment.
Care and coordination are in English; we can arrange interpreters where needed.
Costs are quoted in USD; the table shows approximate MVR figures for planning, which your bank will confirm at the time of payment.
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.
