How much can I save by having treatment in India?

For most planned surgery, an accredited Indian hospital quotes 60 to 90 percent less than a private hospital in the United States or the United Kingdom, and 30 to 60 percent less than the Gulf. The saving is in hospital and surgeon charges, not in implant or drug quality.

Do you charge patients for your service?

No. We do not add a fee on top of the hospital's package price, and you receive the hospital's own written estimate. Our role is to arrange opinions, quotations, the visa invitation, arrival logistics and interpretation.

What do I need to send to get a cost estimate?

A short summary of the problem, the patient's age, recent reports or scans (a phone photo is usually enough), and any prior discharge summary. A doctor reviews these before any estimate is issued, so the figure you receive reflects your actual condition.

Who makes the medical decisions?

The treating hospital and its registered doctors. Healing by India is a medical travel facilitator: we coordinate the pathway and never diagnose, prescribe or advise on treatment choices.

Patient stories

In their own words

Lagos, Nigeria

Verified story

I had chest pain for eight months and two different quotes at home that I could not afford. Healing by India asked for my angiogram on a Tuesday and had a written surgical plan and a line-by-line price by Thursday. Surgery was on day four in Chennai, I walked the corridor on day three after, and I flew home on day nineteen with my medicines and a follow-up date already fixed.
