Ask which Indian hospital is top and you will be handed a ranked list. Narrow it to which hospital suits a 58 year old from Accra needing a hip revision after a failed first replacement, who wants to be walking unaided in three months, and the list shrinks to two or three names. The second question is the one worth asking. The
partner hospitals
TMTC works with run from Max in Delhi to Jaslok in Mumbai and Aster CMI in Bengaluru, across nine cities. This guide covers how to build that shortlist, and the check that matters most for Ghanaian patients: whether the hospital will email its confirmation letter to the High Commission in Accra itself.Key takeaways
- Suitability follows from your diagnosis rather than from a ranking. The centre with the strongest cardiac programme may be the wrong choice for complex spine work, and your scan decides which is which.
- Verify accreditation yourself on the JCI and NABH registries. Both are public and a search by hospital name takes a couple of minutes.
- The High Commission of India, Accraasks for a copy of the confirmation letter from the recognised Indian hospital offering treatment, and asks for a copy to reach the mission directly by email rather than only in your hand.
- Accra's basic document list applies to every visa category and includes a booked return air ticket in your name and an original yellow fever vaccination certificate, so settle the treatment duration before booking flights and arrange the vaccination early rather than in your final week.
Start with the case, not the list
Rankings measure institutional scale and brand recognition. Three narrower things carry more weight for your result: how often the named surgeon performs your specific operation, whether the adjacent specialties can manage a complication in your particular case, and how the hospital organises the first fortnight after surgery.
Return to the hip revision. A revision is a different operation from a first replacement, more complex, more variable, and more dependent on the surgeon having done many of them. The shortlist that matters is one of consultants who revise hips regularly, at hospitals where the supporting specialties can handle a longer or more complicated recovery. A ranking of whole institutions cannot see any of that, which is why it cannot answer the question you are actually asking.
How to narrow a wide field
Start with accreditation, since it is settled without anyone's help. Look the hospital up by name on the JCI and NABH registries. This matters procedurally as well, since Accra asks for a confirmation letter from a recognised hospital or clinic.
After that, establish volume for your procedure specifically rather than total admissions, and find out which sub-specialties support your case if it becomes complicated. Find out how many international patients the hospital handles, because a desk that works with West African patients regularly has routines a low-volume desk does not. Then turn to consumables, since the implant or device is often the largest variable in the final bill. For orthopaedic work the implant brands across TMTC's partner hospitals are those specified in UK and German hospitals, Zimmer Biomet, Stryker and DePuy Synthes. Request the brand and model in writing before surgery.
Key point: Accreditation is the one claim here that does not depend on anyone answering you. Both registries are public,JCI's international listandNABH's directory, and a search by hospital name takes a couple of minutes. Do it before records are sent or a deposit is paid.
TMTC's hospital network at a glance
| Hospital | Location |

The full network is published on the
partner hospitals
page. Delhi is not the default. Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad all hold large tertiary centres in the network, and the right one depends on which surgeon your case is matched to rather than which city you have heard of.The more useful comparison is at consultant level, and the
specialists
can be reviewed individually before you commit. Put two questions to the one your case is matched to: how many of your procedure they perform annually, and how they would approach your presentation.What Accra asks for, and who has to send it
The mission's medical visa requirements sit on top of a basic list that applies to every category. That basic list includes a signed application form with a photograph uploaded, a letter of introduction from your employer, two passport-size photographs, a passport with at least six months validity, a booking for a return air ticket in your name, and an original yellow fever vaccination certificate. Arrange the vaccination early rather than in your final week.
A medical application then adds three things. A reference letter from the local doctor or recognised hospital treating you or referring you onward. A copy of the confirmation letter from the recognised Indian hospital or clinic that has offered treatment. And your bank statement. The mission asks for a copy of that Indian hospital letter to reach it directly by email, alongside the copy you submit yourself.
That last point is worth raising with any hospital early, because it is the step that depends on the hospital's administration rather than on yours. Ghana also appears on India's
e-Visa eligibility list
, so an online medical visa is an option where dates are firm, though it cannot be extended or converted once granted.Patient tip: Get the name and direct email address of whoever issues confirmation letters at the hospital, before you need one, and confirm the copy has gone to the mission as well as to you. Settle at the same time whether the letter can carry a realistic treatment duration, since your return ticket booking has to sit around it.
The fortnight after discharge
Choosing a hospital sets up the operation. The fortnight afterwards decides how the trip actually goes, and discharge in India arrives well before anyone is fit for a flight to Accra.
Our patients move to the
aftercare centre
, where a doctor and nurse are on site around the clock, physiotherapy runs daily and meals are designed by a nutritionist. They stay until a clinician certifies them fit to fly, rather than until a booking runs out. The post-treatment insurance
included in the package covers a return flight to India and treatment in India if a complication develops, rather than treatment in Ghana, which is a real limit and one to read in the policy rather than take on trust. You fly home with a discharge summary and imaging handover, and coordination with your own doctor in Accra, Kumasi or wherever you live. Every recommendation is reviewed by TMTC's Medical Director of Primary Care, a UK-registered GP, giving the plan an additional layer of independent UK clinical oversight.Match the Hospital to the Case
Three checks decide this. Verify the accreditation yourself on the JCI or NABH registry. Find out how often the named surgeon performs your operation, rather than how large the hospital is. Confirm who issues the confirmation letter and that a copy is going to Accra directly. A hospital that clears all three belongs on your shortlist, wherever it sits on anyone's ranking. If you would like a shortlist built around your records and your dates, a

is where TMTC's Ghana service
starts.Frequently asked questions
Which hospital in India is right for Ghanaian patients?
It depends on your diagnosis, the named surgeon's experience with your procedure and the adjacent specialties your case may need. Confirm JCI or NABH accreditation, establish procedure volume with the named consultant, then compare two or three rather than working from a published ranking.
Does the Indian hospital have to contact the High Commission?
Accra asks for a copy of the confirmation letter from the recognised Indian hospital to reach the mission directly by email, alongside the copy you submit. Check with the hospital that it has done so before your appointment rather than assuming it.
Do I need a yellow fever certificate?
The mission lists an original yellow fever vaccination certificate among the basic documents required for every visa category, so it applies to medical applications too. Arrange it early rather than in your final week, since a certificate takes time to become valid.
Do I have to travel to Delhi for treatment?
No. The network runs across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Surat as well as New Delhi. Which city you travel to normally follows from the consultant your case is matched to, so it is a decision that comes after the clinical picture rather than before it.
How long should I plan to stay in India?
Long enough that a clinician rather than a calendar decides when you fly. Accra's basic documents include a booked return ticket, so settle a realistic treatment duration with the hospital, including recovery, before booking flights around the shortest possible stay.
