From Maldives to Chandigarh
Close, familiar care in India for families from the Maldives
India has long been the first choice for Maldivian patients. We help you plan heart, spine, cancer and neurology care in Chandigarh, with support for Aasandha paperwork and travel.

Why BookMedTrip matters for patients from the Maldives
Spread across hundreds of islands, the Maldives cannot offer every specialty at home, so the Aasandha scheme funds treatment abroad, with most empanelled overseas hospitals in India. Maldivian patients most often come for heart, orthopaedic, neurology and cancer care, valuing India's closeness and lower cost.
What families from the Maldives often come for
Every plan starts with a specialist reviewing your reports — on a US$99 consultation that includes two calls.
Visa
Maldivian citizens can visit India visa-free for up to 90 days, including for medical treatment, under the 2018 Visa Facilitation Agreement restored in October 2021. Longer stays need a medical visa from the Indian High Commission in Malé.
Always confirm on the official Indian visa portal before you apply.
航班
Air India flies non-stop Malé-Delhi twice a week (FlightConnections, Nov 2026); other days connect through Indian hubs. Delhi to Chandigarh is a one-hour flight.
We can book your tickets — see Book tickets. Languages we hear from the Maldives: Dhivehi, English.
