UK · Kerala · Partner hospitals across India

Care in India, held with the same seriousness you would expect at home.

Obeocure is a medical facilitator — not a hospital, not a travel agent. We match you to a vetted specialist, put a written package in front of you, and stay on the file from first opinion to follow-up in the UK.

How Obeocure works

Five steps. One named coordinator. Nothing implied that is not written down.

Most people who write to us are not shopping. They are trying to understand whether going to India is safe, sensible, and worth the journey. This is the path we take with them.

01
Day 0–1

Tell us the case

Procedure, reports, dates, budget. A coordinator replies with what is missing — not a sales call.

02
Day 2–6

Two clinical opinions

We send your file to shortlisted specialists. You receive written opinions, not a single “recommended” name.

03
Day 5–10

A transparent package

Hospital, surgeon, implant or drug class, nights, companion stay, and what is excluded. In sterling.

04
Week 2–5

Visa, travel, arrival

Medical visa letters, airport transfer, hospital-adjacent stay. You are met. You are not left in arrivals.

05
Treatment → home

Recovery and follow-up

In-country coordination, then telemedicine with your treating team after you return to the UK or elsewhere.

Read the full journey, with realistic timelines

The patient journey

You should be able to see the whole path before you book a flight.

Uncertainty is usually worse than the medicine. We map who does what, and when, so the journey is a sequence rather than a leap.

Open the journey map
Enquiry

A file, not a lead

Reports uploaded over encrypted transfer. You are assigned a coordinator in London or Kochi.

Opinion

Specialists write back

Typically two hospitals. Questions are clinical. If the case is not suitable for travel, we say so.

Decision

A package you can take to family

Itemised. Comparable to a UK private quote. No “from £X*” in small type.

India

Treatment, then enough days to fly safely

Discharge criteria are medical, not calendar-driven. Companion support is built in.

Home

Follow-up that survives the flight

Records handed over. Telemedicine windows booked before you leave the ward.

Dawn mist on Vembanad Lake, a houseboat in the distance, coconut palms on the far bank.

Kerala is not a backdrop. It is why our clinical desk sits here — a state with dense specialist hospitals, English-speaking teams, and a long tradition of receiving people who have come a long way to get well.

Patient stories

What people actually came for, and what happened next.

Stories below are representative journeys, shared with consent, edited for medical privacy. They are not outcome guarantees. Names are initials by design.

Verified · Hip replacement · Manchester

“I had a date. That was the thing I could not get at home. The hospital was quieter than I expected. My coordinator sat with my wife when I was in theatre.”
R.H., 67 Uncemented THR · Harbourview · 11 nights

Verified · CABG · Dubai / UK

“Two written opinions, different cities, same recommendation. That was when I stopped feeling I was being sold a destination.”
A.K., 58 Triple vessel CABG · Western Ghats · 14 nights

Verified · IVF · London

“They were precise about rates and about what could not be promised. After two NHS cycles we needed a clinic that would talk to us as adults.”
M.S. & P.S., 36 / 38 ICSI · Indus Fertility · Kochi

Cost, stated plainly

India is less expensive. That is not the reason to come — it is the reason the decision is possible.

Figures are indicative 2026 package bands in sterling, for a standard, uncomplicated case. Your written quote will differ. NHS waits are published ranges, not a personal prediction.

Total hip replacement

£12,500–18,000
£4,200–6,800

Typical NHS wait 6–18 months. Implant brand specified in the Obeocure package.

Coronary bypass (CABG)

£22,000–32,000
£6,400–9,800

Typical NHS wait 3–9 months. ICU nights included to a stated cap.

IVF — self cycle

£5,000–8,500
£2,100–3,900

Medicines and ICSI often extra in the UK; we itemise both.

Begin without committing to travel

Send the file. We will tell you if India is even the right conversation.

A treatment plan is a written opinion, a hospital shortlist, and an itemised band. It is free. It is not a booking. If we cannot help, we will say so in the same four hours.

  • No diagnosis is made by a coordinator.
  • Medical reports are encrypted in transit and at rest.
  • You may withdraw consent at any time.
  • We do not share files with hospitals until you agree.
  • Ashwin and Tony’s desks are real rooms in London and Kochi.
