For most cardiac procedures, patients need 12-18 days in India total. This typically includes 5-8 days in hospital (varying by procedure) and another 7-10 days of local recovery before it is safe to fly. Your surgeon will confirm travel clearance before discharge. Hospidio coordinates your entire stay, hospital admission, nearby accommodation, local transport, and discharge summary, so your focus stays on recovery.
