The Embassy of India in the Philippines has introduced special provisions for Filipino nationals and foreign residents seeking urgent medical treatment in India. This initiative aims to provide medical care for critical conditions, including life-threatening diseases, congenital illnesses, organ transplants, oncology, and pediatric ailments.
In a recent advisory, the Embassy urged individuals requiring urgent medical care to contact its Consular Wing. Interested parties can visit the Consular Wing at Bonifacio Global City or reach out via email or telephone for assistance with visas and facilitation of medical visits to India. The Embassy offers language support in English, Hindi, and Tagalog to aid the process.
The advisory also invites those interested in alternative medicine services, such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy (AYUSH), available in India. The Embassy encourages Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and philanthropic groups in the Philippines to collaborate in facilitating medical treatments for Filipinos.
In emergencies requiring immediate medical attention during holidays or weekends, the Embassy has provided a dedicated emergency mobile number. The advisory highlights the convenience of obtaining E-Medical Visas through the online portal, ensuring a hassle-free application process.
This initiative underscores India’s commitment to providing comprehensive healthcare solutions and promoting medical tourism for international patients. It particularly benefits those from the Philippines seeking advanced medical treatments in various specialties.
