From what I read on medical tourism off of Google is that India is the master of heart surgeries. It's cheaper to fly there, stay in a 5 star hotel and have bypass surgery than it is to do it at the closest hospital to your home...let me google that:
Here's one of a man from the UK:
Heart bypass surgery in India
Cardiac bypass - George Marshall
It was one of the most critical decisions George Marshall had to take in his life. The 73-year-old violin repairer from Bradford, UK, was suffering from severe angina (chest pain) and was told by his local doctor that he had the choice of waiting for six months for a heart bypass operation through the National Health Service (NHS) or pay £19,000 for the same operation at a private hospital in Britain.
He then took the bold decision to fly 5,000 miles to Bangalore?s renowned Wockhardt Hospitals for his surgery where surgeons took a piece of vein from his arm to repair the thinning arteries of his heart.
A hale and hearty Marshall was discharged from Wockhardt Hospitals after a successful double bypass surgery performed by Dr Vivek Jawali, the Hospital?s Chief Cardiovascular Surgeon.
Marshall told the UK newspaper, the Guardian. ?I would have no problem coming again.? It cost him only £4,800, and that included the cost of his flight from UK to India and back.
Just read on one site that Coronary Artery Bypass surgery in India is $6900 In the U.S. it's $100,000 !!!!
