The heavily subsidized treatment costs are a big reason why people are considering traveling abroad to avail the best medical facilities at only a fraction of what they have to pay in their home countries. Countries like India can 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 the 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 the 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.
