India is one of the world's leading destinations for cardiac surgery — performing over 250,000 open-heart surgeries annually. JCI-accredited hospitals, globally trained surgeons, and costs 70–80% lower than the US and Europe.
India has emerged as one of the world's most sought-after destinations for cardiac surgery. Hospitals like Medanta, Apollo, and Fortis perform thousands of open-heart surgeries every year with success rates comparable to the best centres in the US and Europe — at a fraction of the cost.
Indian cardiac surgeons are among the most experienced globally. Many have trained at leading institutions in the US, UK, and Europe, and several are globally recognised pioneers. Dr. Naresh Trehan (Medanta) has performed over 48,000 cardiac procedures, while Apollo's cardiac programme handles 6,000+ procedures annually across its network.
From routine CABG to complex TAVR, minimally invasive valve repairs, and paediatric cardiac surgery, India offers the full spectrum of cardiac care. Hospitals are equipped with hybrid cath labs, Da Vinci robotic systems, and the latest imaging technology.

"I had a triple bypass at Medanta with Dr. Trehan. The entire procedure cost $6,000 including hospital stay. In the US I was quoted $85,000. I was back home in Nigeria within 3 weeks, fully recovered."
"My father needed an aortic valve replacement at age 68. Apollo Delhi handled everything beautifully. The surgery was done within 5 days of arrival. Total cost was $7,500 including the bioprosthetic valve."
"TAVR for my mother was quoted at $120,000 in Canada with a 9-month wait. Ginger Healthcare connected us to Medanta — done in 2 weeks for $22,000. She walked out of hospital next day. Incredible."
Yes. India's top cardiac centres like Medanta, Apollo, and Fortis are JCI-accredited with success rates exceeding 98% for routine procedures like CABG — comparable to the best hospitals in the US and Europe. Many surgeons have trained at leading Western institutions.
CABG in India typically costs between $4,500–$7,000 depending on the hospital, surgeon, and complexity. This includes surgery, hospital stay, ICU, medications, and post-operative care. The same procedure costs $70,000–$120,000 in the US.
A typical cardiac surgery requires 2–3 weeks in India. This includes pre-operative evaluation (2–3 days), surgery and hospital stay (5–7 days), and post-discharge recovery and follow-up (7–10 days) before you're cleared to fly home.
Medanta (Gurugram), Apollo (Delhi), and Fortis Memorial (Gurugram) are consistently ranked among India's top cardiac centres. The best choice depends on your specific condition, surgeon preference, and budget. Ginger Healthcare helps match you to the right hospital.
