Frequently Asked Questions — Neurology Abroad

Answers sourced from clinical experience and real patient journeys coordinated by Sultan GHC.

How much does deep brain stimulation (DBS) cost in India compared to the U.S.?

DBS in the U.S. typically costs $80,000–$150,000. At a JCI-accredited hospital in India using FDA-approved Medtronic or Abbott devices, the same procedure costs $15,000–$28,000 — a saving of 80–85%. Türkiye costs $20,000–$35,000. Sultan GHC provides a personalised cost estimate at no charge.

Are neurologists in India trained to U.S. or European standards?

Many neurologists at our partner hospitals completed fellowship and sub-specialty training in the U.S., UK, or Germany. They hold international certifications (ABPN equivalent, Royal College of Physicians UK, European Academy of Neurology) and publish regularly in peer-reviewed journals.

Can I travel to India or Türkiye after a stroke?

Travel after a stroke depends on neurological stability. Most neurologists recommend waiting at least 4–6 weeks after an ischemic stroke before long-haul travel, subject to individual assessment. Sultan GHC's medical team reviews your imaging and clinical status before advising on travel. For sub-acute rehab, travel is often safe and highly beneficial.

What neurology tests are available in India and Türkiye?

Partner hospitals offer the full diagnostic range: 3T MRI brain and spine, CT angiography, EEG (routine and long-term), video EEG, nerve conduction studies, EMG, evoked potentials, PET-CT for dementia workup, neuropsychological testing, and CSF analysis. Turnaround is typically 24–48 hours.

How long will I need to stay for neurology treatment in India?

Diagnostic evaluations take 3–7 days. Epilepsy monitoring unit stays are 5–10 days. Deep brain stimulation requires 7–14 days (assessment, surgery, programming). Stroke rehabilitation varies from 3–8 weeks. Your Sultan GHC Case Manager coordinates the full itinerary.

Does Sultan GHC arrange a second opinion from a neurologist before treatment?

Yes — and we encourage it. Sultan GHC arranges a complimentary remote second opinion within 24–48 hours. Upload your MRI scans, EEG reports, and medication history. Our specialists review your case and provide a written recommendation. The first opinion is at no cost and no obligation.
