What affects the cost

Every patient gets their own estimate, in writing, from the hospital. These are the things that move it.

  1. 01

    The hospital and the city

    Room types, equipment and running costs differ from one hospital to the next.

  2. 02

    The doctor

    A surgeon's fee follows their experience and how complex the operation is.

  3. 03

    The technique and the materials

    Keyhole or robotic surgery, and the make of any implant, can change the price.

  4. 04

    Your health

    Other conditions, earlier treatment and the tests you need before treatment all count.

  5. 05

    How long you stay

    Days in hospital, any time in intensive care and the weeks you spend recovering in India.

  6. 06

    What else you need

    Physiotherapy, medicines to take home and follow-up visits are added only if your doctor asks for them.

The estimate is not final until the doctor has examined you in India. If anything changes, we explain it before you agree to it.
