Can I get Halal food and Islamic religious accommodation in Indian hospitals?
Yes, most major Indian hospitals provide excellent Halal food options and have prayer facilities nearby. India has a large Muslim population, so Islamic dietary requirements and prayer accommodations are well understood and easily arranged. We ensure all religious and cultural needs are met.
What is the cost difference between Bangladesh and India for advanced medical treatment?
