Heart surgery in India

Bob Gallagher [featured in The Sunday Times] went to India for cardiac ablation through The Medical Tourist Company. Cardiac ablation costs £2,000 in India rather than £12,000 in the UK. Whilst in India, the surgeons discovered a problem that went undetected in the UK. He went on to have successful open heart surgery in India and returned to the UK thoroughly satisfied. Here are his comments:

 

"From first contact to hospital reception took just a few days with visas in place and hospital on standby. Professional and efficient are good descriptions of The Medical Tourist Company, but what did it for me is - friendly. This also best describes the staff at the hospital in Mumbai where I went for heart surgery. I could not have been in better hands. The hospital is a three year old, 5-star example of what you would like to think all hospitals should be. Their heart facilities are first-class and the surgeons are rated second to non by their professional colleagues. I could not have placed my well-being in the care of more considerate and competent people."
