Is Medical Tourism in Pakistan a Good Option for Overseas Patients?
Yes, for many patients it is. At IRCC Pakistan, procedures like varicocele embolization, fibroid embolization (UFE), prostate artery embolization (PAE), thyroid RFA and varicose vein ablation cost about 40% to 70% less than in the Gulf. You can share your reports online, get a case review, and plan your trip around one short visit.

Read guideFrequently Asked Questions
Can I come to Pakistan only for medical treatment?
Yes. Many overseas Pakistanis and foreign nationals come to Pakistan for treatment. At IRCC, we review your reports first, so you travel only when the doctor confirms the treatment is right for you.
How do I start if I live abroad?
Send your scan reports, blood tests and medical history on WhatsApp. Our doctor reviews them and replies with a treatment plan and a cost estimate. You then pick a date and travel to Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad.
How much does medical treatment in Pakistan cost?
It depends on the procedure and your reports. As an example, varicocele embolization at IRCC is estimated at about AED 6,500, SAR 6,000 to 9,000 or QAR 6,451. That is often 40% to 70% less than in the Gulf. You get an exact estimate after the case review.
How many days do I need to stay in Pakistan?
This depends on the procedure and your health. Many image-guided procedures need only a short hospital stay. After reviewing your reports, the doctor will tell you how many days to plan for, including a follow-up check before you fly back.
Is the treatment done without surgery?
Most treatments at IRCC are done through a small pinhole in the skin, guided by X-ray or ultrasound. There is no large cut, so most patients recover faster than after open surgery.
Can non-Pakistanis get treatment at IRCC?
Yes. Patients of any nationality are welcome. You will need a valid Pakistan visa, which you can apply for online at visa.nadra.gov.pk. Treatment decisions are based on your medical reports, not your nationality.
Which reports should I send for the case review?
Send your most recent ultrasound, MRI or CT reports and images, recent blood tests, a list of your medicines and notes from any past treatment. Clear photos or PDFs on WhatsApp are fine.
Can I get follow-up care after I go back home?
Yes. After you return, you can share follow-up scans done in your country, and our team will review them and answer your questions on WhatsApp.
Which languages does the team speak?
Our doctor and team speak English and Urdu.
