Hospitals

The hospitals we work with, and what we checked

Every hospital on this register has been through the same six checks, and each entry shows what we found — including whether somebody from Sevanta has been inside the building. Where a figure is still being verified, the entry says so.

The vetting protocol

Six checks before a hospital joins the register

Each check names the source we use, so a patient — or an assessor — can ask us to produce the evidence. Two of the six are deliberately unflattering, because a vetting policy with no failure conditions is marketing.

  1. 01

    Accreditation checked at source, including its scope

    We check the accreditor’s own public register, not a logo on a website, and record the body, certificate number and expiry date. NABH entry-level certification is not full accreditation; we record which one the hospital holds.

  2. 02

    The surgeon is verified, not just the building

    Accreditation says nothing about the person operating on you. Every consultant is checked against the Indian Medical Register, and we record their registration number, qualification and year of registration.

  3. 03

    Volume in your operation, for a stated year

    Not “a leading centre” — the number of your specific procedure the unit performed in a named twelve-month period, in writing. If a hospital will not put a figure in writing, we publish none and say so.

  1. 04

    Infection control and outcome reporting

    We ask for the hospital’s surgical site infection rate, who audits it, and its readmission and return-to-theatre figures. A unit that cannot produce its own figures does not go on the register.

  2. 05

    Somebody from Sevanta walks the building

    Before a hospital is listed, one of us visits in person — the ward, the theatre corridor, intensive care and the international patient desk — and its entry records the visit. We return at least once a year.

  3. 06

    A signed agreement, with the awkward parts in it

    Every listed hospital signs an agreement covering scope of treatment, who is responsible for what, how a complication is escalated, and what happens to your money if the operation is cancelled — agreed before you travel, not after.

What our checks do not cover

Accreditation is a floor, not a guarantee — and no UK regulator sits behind it

Accreditation tells you a hospital met a defined standard on the day it was assessed. It is a meaningful signal and we will not list a hospital without it. It is not a promise about your operation, and it does not replace the UK protections that do not travel with you.

  • The Care Quality Commission does not regulate hospitals in India. Nothing on this register is CQC-inspected, and we will never imply otherwise.
  • The General Medical Council has no jurisdiction over a surgeon practising in India. If something goes wrong, a GMC complaint is not a route that exists.
  • The NHS is not liable for treatment you obtain abroad, and is under no obligation to correct it. It will treat you if you are unwell, which is not the same thing.
  • Our checks reduce risk. They do not remove it. Every operation on this site carries the risk of complications, and a hospital that passed our checks can still have a bad outcome.

Talk to a coordinator

Ask about a specific hospital

Tell us which one and what you want to know, and we will send you what we hold on it — accreditation, scope, the volumes the unit gave us and the date we were last there. No medical details needed to ask.
