How can I manage my healthcare while in India?

The healthcare package in India, will depend on the specific arrangement of your assignment. For instance, if you are being moved by your Employer then the benefits program needs to be clarified as to whether it includes healthcare and the extent that it provides coverage. Should you have ongoing health concerns or chronic conditions you need to understand how the healthcare plan covers these. As an individual or family relocating privately, a Resettle relocations expert can assist by providing information about health insurance coverage and guide you by putting you in touch with the right provider.

While private healthcare is of a high quality in India and considered very reasonably priced compared to the US, Canada and Europe, it is best to secure a healthcare program as early as possible upon your arrival.

Will my family adjust to Indian culture?

You may be so focused on logistical details and decisions that adjusting to the local culture may be something you have not thought about. However, in a country like India, you will have questions and curiosities arising during your first weeks of assignment. The cultural differences will be evident upon landing and even with English speaking locals, communication can present challenges. Resettle has developed a complete cross-cultural program for the entire family to address this very issue. Adjust to the local culture quickly and enjoy your stay in India!

Will my children have access to good schools?

One of the main concerns of assignees is that their children will not fall behind in schooling. Are the school standards on par with home? Are they easily accessible?
