The multi-specialty hospitals in India offer
virtually all types of standard medical treatments as well as comprehensive

to the recipient and can establish his/her legitimate desire and
reason to offer his/her organ to the recipient.
Below are some of the frequently utilized treatments and their
estimated costs in the US and in India. The hospital costs
shown include hospital stay, operating theater costs, doctors'
fees, anesthesiologist fees, pre and post-surgical diagnostics,
medications, nursing care, and rehab. The combined costs
shown also add the typical costs of passport/visa fees, air
travel, local transportation, hotel stay and meals.
Please note that in certain cases, costs may
