Why patients travel
What brings Iraqi patients to India
- Paediatric oncology and bone-marrow transplant demand exceeds domestic capacity.
- Families frequently travel in groups, so attendant accommodation and halal catering matter as much as the surgery.
- Arabic-speaking case management from arrival to discharge is standard, not an add-on.
