Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery in the United States typically costs between $70,000 and $150,000 before insurance. For the 40+ million people worldwide without access to that kind of coverage, the price alone can put life-saving surgery out of reach — which is exactly why medical tourism for cardiac care has grown so quickly over the past decade.
Hospital costs are driven mainly by three things: surgeon and staff wages, real estate and facility overheads, and the cost of imported surgical equipment and implants. Countries like India and Turkey have built large private-hospital networks with modern equipment but significantly lower operating costs, which is reflected directly in patient pricing — not in a lower standard of care.
| Country | Avg. CABG Cost | Hospital Stay | Savings vs. US |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇮🇳 India | $7,200 | 6–8 days | Up to 90% |
| 🇹🇷 Turkey | $9,500 | 6–7 days | Up to 87% |
| 🇹🇭 Thailand | $11,800 | 7–8 days | Up to 83% |
| 🇦🇪 UAE | $16,400 | 6–8 days | Up to 78% |
A transparent quote from an accredited hospital should include the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, operating theatre charges, ICU and ward stay, standard medication, and routine post-op tests. It's worth confirming in writing what's excluded — implants, a second surgical opinion, or an extended ICU stay due to complications are the most common add-on costs patients aren't warned about.
Every cost estimate we send is reviewed against the hospital's actual billing history for similar cases, not just their rate card. We share the full breakdown in writing before you book flights, so there are no surprises once you're admitted.
