Our most important piece of advice is don’t travel alone. We recommend this to all travelers, but if you have some type of disability or impairment, we cannot stress the importance of traveling with a companion. Just because you commute to work, run errands, or lead an active social life in your home country doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll enjoy the same levels of comfort or ease when you go abroad. Not all international cities are handicap friendly. The sidewalks of Bangkok, for example, are nearly impossible to navigate via wheelchair. And don't expect audio crosswalks in Mumbai.
We encourage travel partners for all medical tourists. Man, woman, or child (disabled or otherwise), taking a companion with you will not only increase your safety, but it can also increase the overall success of your medical tourism vacation. A companion can help fill out paperwork, ask relevant questions, help you make travel arrangements, and keep you company. We fully understand that buying an extra ticket and larger hotel room necessarily increases the price of your trip, but the added safety and security are well worth the cost.
