Six compelling reasons
Why patients choose India over the West
Beyond cost, India offers a combination of quality, speed, and support that is unmatched elsewhere in the world.
60–80% lower cost
The same surgery at a JCI-accredited hospital in India costs a fraction of US or European prices — without compromising on quality, equipment, or outcomes.
No waiting lists
Unlike the NHS or European public systems, top private hospitals in India can schedule surgery within days to 2 weeks. Time-critical cases are a priority.
JCI & NABH accreditation
India has 60+ JCI-accredited hospitals — the same international gold standard used in the USA and Europe — plus hundreds more NABH-certified facilities.
Surgeons trained abroad
India's top specialists have trained at institutions in the UK, USA, and Germany. Many hold dual board certifications and have 15–30 years of specialty experience.
English-speaking teams
Medical education in India is in English. All doctors, coordinators, and nursing staff at international hospitals communicate fluently in English.
End-to-end coordination
Arodya assigns a dedicated coordinator for your entire journey — from case review through treatment to post-discharge follow-up. You never navigate alone.
Common questions
What patients from Africa ask us most

How much cheaper is medical treatment in India vs the USA?
Treatment in India typically costs 60–80% less than in the USA. For example, open-heart surgery costs $120,000–$200,000 in the USA but $5,000–$10,000 in India at accredited hospitals.
Are Indian hospitals safe for international patients?
Yes. India has over 60 JCI-accredited hospitals — among the highest outside the US and Europe. The NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) sets rigorous quality standards.
Do Indian doctors speak English?
Yes. Medical education in India is conducted entirely in English. Most senior specialists have trained or worked in the UK, USA, or Europe.
How long is the waiting time for surgery in India?
Waiting times are typically days to 2 weeks, not months. India has a large surplus of hospital capacity and no NHS-style waiting lists.
What is a medical visa for India and how do I get one?
India offers a dedicated e-Medical Visa for international patients, valid for 60 days with triple entry. It can be applied online and is typically approved within 1–4 business days.
Will I get support after I return home?
