NRI & International Patient Programs
Planning Ayurveda care while living abroad requires more than selecting a fixed package. Sai Ayush Ayurveda Hospital helps NRIs and international patients prepare for a doctor-led consultation in Hyderabad, understand which medical records to bring, and explore outpatient or KPHB inpatient care when clinically appropriate. Panchakarma or any other therapy is prescribed only after an Ayurveda physician assesses your health history, current medicines, examination findings, strength and treatment goals. A preliminary enquiry cannot guarantee suitability, duration or results. Important: do not stop, reduce or replace prescribed medicines before speaking with the clinician who manages them. Ayurveda care is not a substitute for emergency treatment. To begin, call or WhatsApp the KPHB care team on +91 81423 28080.
Who this service is for
NRIs visiting Hyderabad
Arranging Ayurveda care during a visit to Hyderabad.
OCI cardholders and international patients
Travelling to India for doctor-guided Ayurveda care.
Family coordinating from abroad
Overseas family members arranging an assessment for a parent or relative.
Deciding on the care setting
People who want to understand whether outpatient care or a supervised inpatient stay may be more appropriate.
Considering Panchakarma
Patients who need an individual suitability assessment rather than a pre-set package.
A hospital pathway
This is a hospital-based care pathway, not a luxury retreat or holiday programme.
Begin with a pre-arrival enquiry
Where and when
Your country of residence and expected Hyderabad dates.
Reason for enquiry
The main health concern or goal prompting your enquiry.
Medical history
Relevant diagnoses, allergies and previous procedures.
Medicines
A current list of all medicines and supplements.
Reports
Recent reports, imaging or laboratory results relevant to the concern.
Practical needs
Mobility, dietary or accessibility requirements.
Care setting
Whether you are considering outpatient visits or may require inpatient assessment.
Protect your medical information
Any remote discussion is preliminary — a final diagnosis, treatment prescription, Panchakarma decision and duration require an appropriate physician assessment, usually including an in-person examination. Use only the hospital’s approved secure method for sending reports. Do not send passports, payment information or complete medical records through a public form or an unverified messaging number.
How the international patient pathway works
Send an initial enquiry
Tell the team why you are travelling, your likely dates and whether you have any mobility or support needs. This is an enquiry, not confirmation of a treatment programme.
Receive a record checklist and appointment options
The coordination team confirms what information is needed and whether an initial remote conversation is available. Travel should not be booked solely on an assumed treatment duration.
Attend a physician assessment
The physician reviews your medical history, current symptoms, medicines, relevant reports and Ayurvedic assessment. Additional medical evaluation or referral may be advised where necessary.
Review the proposed care plan
If care is suitable, the team explains the recommended approach, likely schedule, precautions, care setting and estimated charges. You can ask questions before giving consent.
Begin supervised care
Therapies are delivered according to the physician’s prescription, and response is reviewed during the programme. The plan may be modified or stopped if clinical circumstances change.
Receive discharge and home-care guidance
Before leaving, ask for a clear summary covering medicines, diet, activity, warning signs and follow-up. Any remote follow-up must be confirmed according to availability and applicable professional rules.
What care may be considered
Physician consultation
Ayurveda physician consultation and individual care planning.
Prescribed medicines
Prescribed Ayurveda medicines, with a medicine-safety review.
Panchakarma, when suitable
Panchakarma or selected preparatory and supportive therapies when assessed as appropriate. See the Panchakarma assessment and treatment process.
Diet and routine guidance
Diet, daily-routine and sleep guidance.
Naturopathy support
Naturopathy support where clinically relevant.
Physiotherapy support
Physiotherapy assessment or rehabilitation support when indicated.
Outpatient or inpatient
Outpatient reviews, or KPHB inpatient care when closer supervision is advised.
Not everything is included
Not every patient needs Panchakarma, inpatient admission or integrated therapies. Services are not bundled into a single standard programme.
Panchakarma is not a fixed short-stay package
Panchakarma is a group of classical Ayurvedic procedures. Suitability depends on factors such as age, strength, digestion, current illness, medicines and the ability to follow preparation and recovery instructions.
Some people may be advised a different approach, a preparatory phase, outpatient care, a longer schedule, or no Panchakarma at all. Evidence for many Ayurveda approaches remains limited or condition-specific, and individual results cannot be guaranteed.
Outpatient or inpatient care?
Outpatient care
May be considered when you can travel to the hospital safely, do not need continuous observation, and can follow the prescribed routine where you are staying.
KPHB inpatient care
The Sai Ayush KPHB hospital provides outpatient and inpatient care. Admission is considered only after physician assessment and is subject to clinical suitability and room availability. Read about doctor-guided inpatient Ayurveda care at KPHB.
Madinaguda
The Madinaguda branch is an outpatient clinic and does not provide inpatient admission.
Planning your visit to Hyderabad
Before travelling
Keep adequate time for assessment and possible changes to the plan. Bring reports, prescriptions and a complete medicine and supplement list. Carry medicines in their original labelled packaging and check airline and customs rules. Tell both your conventional and Ayurveda clinicians about all care you receive.
Confirm the practical details in writing
Confirm appointment dates, estimated charges, payment methods and cancellation terms in writing. Arrange suitable travel insurance and confirm coverage directly with your insurer.
Check visa and entry requirements officially
Check passport, visa and entry requirements only through official Government of India channels. The official India e-Visa portal lists an e-Medical Visa option for e-Ayush purposes; eligibility and documentation vary. Sai Ayush does not give immigration advice and cannot guarantee visa approval.
During the programme
Leave time for rest and reviews. Avoid planning intensive sightseeing, long road journeys or major social commitments during a prescribed programme unless the treating physician says they are appropriate.
Before returning abroad
Ask for written instructions, the exact names and doses of prescribed products, how long to use them, possible adverse effects, and what to do if symptoms change. Confirm whether each medicine may legally be carried or imported into your destination country.
Safety and when Ayurveda may not be appropriate
An individual assessment is essential. Panchakarma or other therapies may be postponed, modified or avoided during acute illness, pregnancy, marked weakness or unstable medical conditions, and in other situations identified by the physician. Tell the clinical team if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive; take anticoagulants, diabetes medicines, blood-pressure medicines or other regular prescriptions; have allergies, kidney or liver disease, a bleeding disorder or a recent operation; have a pacemaker, implant, severe mobility limitation or a history of falls; or have previously reacted to oils, herbs, heat treatments or supplements. Ayurvedic products can interact with medicines, and some products available in the wider market have been found to contain harmful levels of metals. Use only products prescribed or supplied through a traceable clinical process, and inform all of your healthcare professionals about them.
Seek urgent medical care for red-flag symptoms
Do not wait for an Ayurveda appointment if you have chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, signs of stroke, fainting, uncontrolled bleeding, a severe allergic reaction, sudden confusion, persistent vomiting with dehydration, or another rapidly worsening symptom. Contact local emergency services or go to an appropriate emergency department.
