My Global Hospital - India as a Destination for Cardiac Surgery

MUMBAI, India - Oct. 21, 2015 - PRLog -- October 21, 2015 | Mumbai:  India has become one of the leading destinations for cardiac surgery and is witnessing a higher influx of international patients than ever before. The Government of India has also renewed its focus on turning the country into a hub for global healthcare. The country offers two things that matter most to patients: some of the best experts in the world and low costs. In fact, the cost for a cardiac surgery in India is less than one-tenth of such a procedure in the west. Adding that with some of the leading heart specialists in the world and cutting-edge surgical facilities, it is no wonder that more and more people are visiting the country to take care of their health.

Costs of a cardiac procedure in the US starts from around $2,000 and may go up to $100,000 while the cost in India averages one-tenth or less than that. The situation is similar for other Western countries. A Government of India study pegs the average cost for major surgeries in the country at 20% of what the same procedures would cost in developed countries. Major heart surgeries done in India include coronary bypass surgery, open-heart surgery, heart transplant, valve repair or replacement, aneurysm repair and arrhythmia treatment among others.

My Global Hospital, an online provider of the best healthcare facilities in India, says that the growth is likely to continue at a much higher rate as India’s emergence in the global stage is also increasing its stature as a global health destination. The inflow of medical tourists is expected to cross 3.2 million in 2015, up considerably from 0.85 million in 2012.

The key factor that is helping India’s cause remains its excellence in healthcare standards. Most leading Indian hospitals are incorporating the latest in technology including telemedicine to reach patients faster and giving heart treatment the last mile connectivity. For instance, My Global Hospital’s international patients can now consult with their doctors through video conferences and share test reports. This helps in reducing costs as doctors can call patients to India only for surgery while pre- and post-operative cardiac care can be handled by the local healthcare professionals. My Global Hospital offers over 350 health professionals from 15 countries and across 90 specialties including cardiology and cardiac surgery.
