NRI & International Patient Care
Orthopaedic and Dental Care for NRI and International Patients
Every year, patients from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and other parts of Africa, along with patients from the Middle East and Europe, travel to India for orthopaedic and dental treatment. OrthoD Hospital in Memnagar, Ahmedabad, treats NRI and international patients for joint replacement, complex fractures and a full range of dental care, at a cost far lower than what the same treatment often costs abroad.
Why Patients Choose OrthoD Hospital
Coming to another country for treatment brings its own worries, from travel to food to simply having someone to ask when something is unclear. We built our process around removing those worries, not just the medical part.
- Dedicated support team. Help starts before you arrive and continues through your treatment.
- Airport pickup and drop. Transfers arranged for the patient and any attendants travelling with them.
- Comfortable accommodation. Suite and deluxe rooms with modern facilities.
- Food arranged to your needs. Meals planned around your dietary requirements and preferences.
- One-to-one care. A dedicated staff member handles your queries and stays with you through your hospital stay.

Planning Your Treatment Around Your Trip
Dental treatment can often be finished within one to three weeks. Joint replacement surgery needs longer, since your surgeon has to see you walking safely and recovering well before you fly home. Send us your medical reports and travel dates in advance, and we will give you an honest picture of what your visit allows and how long you should plan to stay.

Why Patients Choose OrthoD Hospital
Why Patients Choose OrthoD Hospital
At OrthoD Hospital, patients trust us for our experienced specialists, advanced surgical technology, and proven track record across orthopaedics and dentistry. We combine precision, compassion, and personalized care to ensure faster recovery and lasting results. From routine consultations to complex surgeries, our commitment to quality has made us a preferred choice for thousands of patients.
Orthopaedic and dental care are handled in the same hospital, so you’re not sent from one clinic to another for related problems like jaw pain, joint infection, or post-surgery dental checks.
Dr. Patel trained in Seoul, South Korea, specifically in shoulder replacement surgery, and uses computer-navigation and subvastus techniques for more precise knee replacements.
We accept all types of health insurance, cashless or reimbursement. PMJAY and MA card treatment is not available directly at our clinic, but we are connected with hospitals that accept these cards and can guide you there. EMI is not currently available.
As a smaller, focused hospital, you get direct time with the doctor treating you, not a rotating team of juniors.
