Overview
This disclaimer governs your use of the website ginger.healthcare (the "Website") and all related services operated by Ginger Healthcare Private Limited (CIN: U93090DL2018PTC337505), a company incorporated in India under the Companies Act, 2013, with its registered office at 108, Himalaya Palace, 65 Vijay Block, Laxmi Nagar, East Delhi, Delhi โ 110092 (referred to as "Ginger Healthcare", "we", "us", or "our").
By accessing the Website, using our services, or communicating with our counselors through any channel โ including chat, email, phone, WhatsApp, or in-person meetings โ you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Disclaimer in full. If you do not agree with any part of this Disclaimer, please do not use the Website or our services.
Nature of Our Services
Ginger Healthcare operates as a medical tourism facilitator. We help patients โ primarily international patients and patients travelling across Indian cities โ to connect with hospitals, doctors, and other healthcare providers. Our role is limited to information, coordination, and logistics support.
We are not a hospital, medical practice, clinic, pharmacy, or healthcare provider of any kind. We do not diagnose illnesses, prescribe treatments, perform procedures, dispense medicines, or provide any form of medical care. All medical services, including consultations, diagnoses, surgeries, therapies, hospital stays, pharmaceuticals, and post-operative care, are provided directly by independent third-party hospitals, doctors, and healthcare professionals ("Healthcare Providers") who are solely responsible for the medical care they deliver.
Ginger Healthcare does not employ any doctors, surgeons, nurses, or other medical practitioners. Healthcare Providers listed on the Website operate under their own professional registrations, medical licenses, and institutional affiliations, and are independently accountable under applicable medical laws and regulations.
Information on the Website Is Not Medical Advice
All content on the Website โ including but not limited to articles, blog posts, treatment descriptions, specialty pages, doctor profiles, hospital profiles, cost estimates, treatment timelines, recovery expectations, and responses from our counselors โ is provided strictly for general informational and educational purposes.
Nothing on the Website constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or professional opinion. The information is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified, licensed medical professional who has personally examined you, reviewed your medical history, and understood your specific condition. Medical decisions should always be made in consultation with qualified healthcare professionals of your choosing.
If you believe you may have a medical condition, are experiencing symptoms, or are considering any medical treatment or procedure, you should consult a qualified and licensed medical professional before acting on any information found on the Website.
No Doctor-Patient Relationship
Your use of the Website, your interactions with our counselors, and your receipt of information from Ginger Healthcare do not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and Ginger Healthcare. A doctor-patient relationship is established only between you and the Healthcare Provider you ultimately consult or receive care from.
Our counselors are not medical practitioners. They are trained to help you understand options, coordinate appointments, assist with logistics, and relay communications between you and Healthcare Providers. They do not, and cannot, provide medical opinions, treatment recommendations, or clinical advice.
Information from Third Parties
Doctor profiles, hospital profiles, specialty and treatment descriptions, accreditations, credentials, pricing, availability, photographs, and other information published on the Website are compiled from public sources, the Healthcare Providers themselves, and other third parties. While we make reasonable efforts to verify and keep this information current, we make no representation or warranty โ express or implied โ as to its accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, or suitability for any particular purpose.
Healthcare Providers may update their credentials, availability, service offerings, and pricing without notice. Always confirm critical details โ including a doctor's current availability, a hospital's specific capabilities, and final treatment costs โ directly with the Healthcare Provider before making any travel or financial commitments.
Cost Estimates Are Indicative Only
Any costs, price ranges, package prices, or fee estimates displayed on the Website or shared by our counselors are indicative only and are based on typical cases. Actual costs for your treatment will depend on factors including but not limited to:
- The Healthcare Provider's own assessment of your medical condition
- Diagnostic tests, imaging, and lab work required
- Type and complexity of the procedure
- Choice of implant, device, medication, or surgical technique
- Length of hospital stay and room category
- Post-operative care, rehabilitation, and follow-up needs
- Complications or unforeseen medical requirements
- Currency fluctuations and applicable taxes
Final costs will be confirmed in writing by the Healthcare Provider after they have personally evaluated you. Ginger Healthcare does not control, set, or guarantee pricing, and is not responsible for any discrepancy between indicative estimates and final billed amounts.
No Guarantee of Medical Outcomes
Medicine is not an exact science. The outcome of any consultation, treatment, procedure, or surgery depends on numerous factors โ including your underlying medical condition, age, overall health, response to treatment, genetic factors, adherence to post-treatment instructions, and circumstances beyond anyone's control.
We do not guarantee any specific medical outcome, success rate, recovery timeline, or result. Testimonials, reviews, case studies, and success stories featured on the Website reflect the experiences of individual patients and should not be interpreted as a promise or prediction of similar outcomes for you. Individual results will vary.
Because Ginger Healthcare does not provide medical care and is not involved in the clinical delivery of your treatment, we cannot be, and are not, responsible for the medical outcomes of your treatment. Outcomes that are outside our control and responsibility include, without limitation:
- Unexpected, severe, or extreme side effects of medication, anaesthesia, procedures, or therapies
- Complications, infections, or adverse events arising during or after treatment
- Allegations of misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, delayed treatment, or substandard care
- Failure of treatment to achieve the expected clinical outcome
- Worsening of the underlying medical condition
- Permanent disability, loss of function, or death
Responsibility for medical care, clinical judgement, and the outcome of treatment rests entirely with the Healthcare Provider delivering the care. Any claim relating to the medical aspects of your treatment must be addressed directly to the hospital, doctor, or Healthcare Provider concerned.
Travel, Visa, and Logistics
We may assist with travel arrangements, airport transfers, accommodation suggestions, visa documentation, and local logistics. All such services are provided as coordination support only. Final responsibility for obtaining valid travel documents, visas, insurance, and complying with immigration, customs, and local laws rests with you.
Ginger Healthcare is not liable for visa denials, flight delays, cancellations, lost baggage, accommodation issues, currency exchange losses, or any other travel-related event. Third-party service providers โ airlines, hotels, transport operators, and visa agents โ are governed by their own terms and conditions, which apply directly between you and them.
External Links
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, including hospital portals, doctor profiles, accreditation bodies, regulatory authorities, and informational resources. We provide these links for convenience only. We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, availability, or accuracy of any external website. Accessing external links is at your own risk.
