India is often 60–80% less than private care in the UK or US for the same category of surgery. Your figure still depends on the surgeon, implant, room, and how many days you stay.
| Procedure | India, indicative | Often includes |
|---|---|---|
| Knee replacement | $4,500–7,000 | Surgery, implant tier as quoted, standard stay |
| Shoulder arthroscopy | $4,500–7,000 | Keyhole shoulder repair, standard stay |
| Hip replacement | $5,000–8,000 | Surgery, implant tier as quoted, standard stay |
| Spine fusion | $6,000–12,000 | Surgery, implants as specified, hospital stay |
| Heart bypass | $6,000–9,500 | Surgery, ICU, standard ward days |
| Angioplasty | $4,000–7,500 | Procedure and stent category as quoted |
| IVF cycle | $3,000–5,500 | Clinic package; medicines may be separate |
Flights, visa, food outside the hospital, attendant hotel, and extra ICU days are usually separate. A proforma invoice from the hospital lists what is inside the package.
Paying safely
Money goes to the hospital, on paper.
Local assistance
In Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana, verified local collection can sometimes be arranged. We name the party in writing before any transfer.
Staged amounts
Many pathways take a deposit to hold a date, with the balance on admission. We will not ask you to pay the full amount to us.
Ask for a figure for your reports.
A range without your scans is only a starting point. The useful number comes after review.
