Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Tourism Destinations
India, Turkey, Thailand, Singapore, Germany, and the UAE are among the most popular destinations, offering JCI-accredited hospitals, internationally trained surgeons, and costs that are typically 50–90% lower than in the US or UK.
Savings vary by country and procedure. For example, a coronary artery bypass (CABG) that costs $40,000–$70,000 in the US may cost $4,000–$7,000 in India. Even after adding travel and accommodation, total costs are usually a fraction of domestic prices.
Most countries offer a dedicated medical visa for patients travelling for treatment. The hospital typically issues a letter confirming your appointment, which you submit with your visa application. Processing times vary, so apply as early as possible.
It depends on the procedure. Catheter-based treatments may require only a few days, while major surgery like CABG or valve replacement usually needs 2–4 weeks including recovery and follow-up before you are cleared to fly home.
