How hospitals are scored
Every hospital in the MediVaya database is scored across 10 parameters. The scores are derived from publicly available data — not from patient record audits, clinical inspections, or private data sources. The means the scores have real limitations, which are explained below.
- 1. Specialty Infrastructure
Procedure volume, ICU depth, and supporting infrastructure for the specialty
- 2. Clinical Outcomes
Derived from specialty tier (A/B/C) and institutional standing
- 3. Doctor Expertise
Faculty credentials, training, and continuity within the specialty
- 4. Patient Safety
Accreditation depth plus institution-type safety adjustments
- 5. Nursing Quality
Accreditation plus institution-type nursing adjustments
- 6. International Services
Dedicated international patient desk, transfers, interpretation
- 7. Cost Transparency
Published estimates, packaged quotes, billing clarity
- 8. Patient Reviews
Verified patient feedback across recent timeframes
- 9. Accessibility
Reach by air, road, and supporting hospitality near the hospital
- 10. Research & Innovation
Active trials, academic output, and adoption of new techniques
What the scores cannot tell you
The scores do not reflect individual surgeon skill, recent quality changes at a hospital, post-operative complication rates, actual patient outcomes, or nurse-to-patient ratios. This data is not publicly available in India in any structured form. The scores are a research starting point, not a clinical recommendation. Always verify with the hospital directly before making any decision.
Cost estimates
Cost estimates in MediVaya are derived from 2026 medical tourism benchmark pricing, adjusted for institution type and city tier. They are planning ranges, not hospital-confirmed quotes. Always request a written cost estimate from the hospital's international patient department.
Data currency
The hospital database was last reviewed in June 2026. Accreditation statuses change — always verify current JCI and NABH accreditation directly with the accreditation body before making decisions.
