Making a long journey worth it
- Leave early so you can register before 11:30 AM
- Bring every report, X-ray and prescription — old and new — in one folder
- Prepare a first-visit summary at home and print it
- If blood tests are needed, they are often done the same day — come prepared to wait a little
- Ask how follow-up can be arranged so you don't have to travel more often than necessary
Coming from abroad?
If you are visiting Punjab, Haryana or Himachal from Canada, the UK, the US, Australia, the Gulf or elsewhere, see seeing a rheumatologist while visiting India for practical tips on reports, medicine names, units and travelling back with medicines.
