COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

Can you tell us whether our child needs surgery?+

No. Decisions about surgery, investigations or other treatment require assessment by the hospital’s clinical team. Our role is to help coordinate your inquiry.

Can we get a confirmed price or appointment online?+

The hospital must confirm clinical suitability, appointments and any cost estimate. An inquiry through this site does not confirm a booking.

Do we need to send medical records now?+

No. Start with a brief non-sensitive inquiry. If records are needed later, ask the coordinator about the appropriate submission channel.
