Why BookMedTrip matters for patients from Iraq

Years of conflict have strained Iraq's hospitals, and families pay more than half of health costs out of pocket. Iraqi patients come to India mainly for heart surgery, organ transplants, cancer care and orthopaedics, where specialised centres cost less than many alternatives.

What families from Iraq often come for

Every plan starts with a specialist reviewing your reports — on a US$99 consultation that includes two calls.

Visa

Iraq is not on India's e-Visa list, so patients apply for a regular Medical visa through the Indian Embassy in Baghdad or the Consulate General in Erbil, with a hospital invitation letter.

Always confirm on the official Indian visa portal before you apply.

پروازها

Most travellers connect via Dubai, Doha or Istanbul; IndiGo flies Dubai-Chandigarh daily. Iraqi Airways announced a Baghdad-New Delhi route in April 2026, so check current schedules.

We can book your tickets — see Book tickets. Languages we hear from Iraq: Arabic, Kurdish.
