India prices are typical ranges quoted by accredited hospitals for international patients. The Thailand Price column is an indicative estimate of what comparable private treatment tends to cost â it is a guide for comparison, not a quoted local price, and actual prices in Thailand vary widely by hospital and by case. Some procedures listed may not be routinely available locally at all. Your Indian hospital quotation is confirmed in writing before you travel.

âA heart bypass quote in Bangkok was far beyond what our family could afford, so we looked to India. Navaid's Thai-speaking coordinator arranged everything over LINE, from my visa to the surgery at a top Chennai hospital. The care was excellent and we saved more than half the cost.â
