The heavily subsidized treatment costs are a big reason why people are considering travelling abroad to avail the best medical facilities at only a fraction of what they have to pay in their home countries. Countries like India are able to afford world class medical care at hugely discounted rates, thanks to the low cost of infrastructure and the ever lower doctor-patient ratio.
As per a cost comparison study by the American Medical Association, a knee replacement surgery will cost $40,000 in US, $10,000 in Thailand and $13,000 in Singapore, but $8500 in India. Similarly, in the US for a bone marrow transplant you will have to pay around $400,000, in UK $150,000 but in India it will cost just $30,000. No matter what treatment you opt for, you are going to save around 70-75 percent of the total cost including health or medical services, wellness travel, accommodation and food services. Below is the chart for the cost comparison:
