Over the last few years, India has made rapid and remarkable growth in Healthcare.
The privatisation of healthcare has ensured the availability of the best medical infrastructure, skilled clinicians & technology.
Patients travel internationally for Medical Value Travel for a number of reasons: Availability of care, affordability of care, quality of care, rapid access to care, and options that are not available in their home country, among others.
One field which has fast emerged as a major pull for patients to travel to India from across the globe is Organ Transplantation.
India has become a popular destination for patients seeking to undergo organ transplant surgery including but not limited to Liver & Kidney Transplants.
The number of transplants performed in India at various centers together would be amongst the highest performed anywhere in the world. Given the experience of our surgeons (basis the number of transplants that they do) our outcomes are also amongst the best in the world.
Importantly, given the economies of scale, India offers Transplant Surgeries at a fraction of the cost the patients would pay anywhere else.
Patients from neighbouring countries, developing economies and even the developed world are exploring the options of Organ Transplants in India.
Why do people from other countries opt for India for an organ transplant?
- India does the highest number of Living donor Organ Transplants in the world thus allowing any patient who has a related donor to undergo the surgery without any waiting time.
- Our Transplant programs are donor centric and most Indian Hospitals would guarantee a nearly 100% donor success rate thus giving the confidence to the donors to come forward and save the lives of their loved ones.
- The Success Rates recorded in India for patients (depending on the health conditions) are 92%-95% across the transplant segment making India’s outcomes at par with any destination worldwide if not better.
- Living Donor Transplant is an alien/non-existent concept in most of the developed world and even eligible patients are made to unnecessarily wait for the availability of a cadaveric donation.
- The cost of Transplants across the world is exorbitant, hence only a limited number of people can afford them. India offers the same at a fraction of the cost giving a new lease of life to scores of patients at costs that they can afford.
- The developing countries neither have the medical skills nor the infrastructure to set up transplant programs locally so patients have no choice but to travel abroad.
- There is practically no waiting time in India for Living Donor Transplants and patients can undergo surgery within a month of their arrival.
Superlative outcomes at an affordable price make India a “Destination of Choice” for Organ Transplants
