Was on vacation in the state of Goa. Before the trip, he performed an operation to remove prostate adenoma, according to the results of a biopsy, he found signs of adenocarcinoma. In order to have different opinions, the doctors decided to consult with a local oncourologist from Manipal hospital. Ostap Bondarenko from Bookimed arranged for me to see a doctor. Before that, he attempted to contact the hospital on his own, but they did not respond.  Everything is well organized there. I like it. All questions discussed. Translator Svetlana first discussed everything with me and clarified the terminology. And then at the reception everything is available to the doctor translated my questions and his advice to me.  The doctor is very competent and explained to me all possible treatment options and the necessary research.

I want to thank from the bottom of my heart your company, and in particular a very competent and qualified coordinator-Soyak Alionu for help and advice provided in the process of selecting and treating liver melanoma. Having chosen the country of India and the Global Hospital, we received a consultation and made a diagnosis, thanks to which the oncologist, our doctor, picked up an innovative drug that gave us hope for recovery. We have a diagnosis of grade 4 melanoma of the liver and lung. After returning from India, we undergo further treatment in Ukraine. Believe miracles happen, do not miss your chance, contact Bookimed and they will do their best that you are healthy. RS We are very grateful to Alyona, for helping us in everything from uploading documents to the site and ending with the purchase of tickets for the plane. She worked with us 24 hours a day and if not for her help with our medicine in Ukraine there would be no hope.

FAQ about Lung transplant in India

Features of a lung transplant in India

As of now, India is the only place where transplantation of organs from non-related donors is permitted by law. In other countries, it is either illegal or requires a citizenship. Donors are deceased people with ceased brain functions whose relatives gave their permission to use their organs for transplants.

Foreign patients and India citizens are positioned in the same queue, meaning an absence of preferences and shorter waiting period for international recipients. This also reduces the duration of patient’s stay in a hospital.

The lung transplant consists of 4 stages:

  1. Establishing connection. Contact the clinic via Bookimed to receive guidance through the process of preparing paperwork and contacting a clinic.
  2. Preoperative examination. Blood tests, medical documents review and psychological evaluation of a patient aimed to assess the eligibility for being placed on the waitlist.
  3. Transplant process. The operation takes from 6 to 12 hours, depending on its type and patient’s condition. A patient is under general anesthesia.
  4. Postoperative rehabilitation. A patient recovers in the hospital for 4-8 weeks. During this period a patient will be closely monitored and further recommendations considering follow-up care composed.

Lung transplant cost in India

The following factors influence the lung transplant cost in india:

  • operation type: partial, single, double transplant, or combined double and heart transplant;
  • urgency (it is possible to order a chartered flight to deliver organs if they were allocated too far away);
  • patient’s condition;
  • duration of stay in a guest house;
  • duration of rehabilitation.

Lungs transplant cost in Delhi will be higher than lung transplant cost in Chennai since the former has a much bigger population and better economics. Despite the low price, service quality and doctor’s qualifications in India are as high as those in Israel and Germany. Only the most qualified surgeons with no less than 15 years of experience are permitted to participate in the procedure.

How to choose lungs transplant hospital in India

  • Accreditation. Confirm that the clinic you’re applying to has at least one local or international certification.

Among these certificates are JCI (Joint Community International, controls the quality and safety of medical service), ISO (International Organization for Standardization, provides general quality certification), NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals), etc.
  • Transplantation team experience. It consists of the main transplant surgeon, who is responsible for operation success. Learn about transplantologist qualifications, patient reviews, and medical degrees.Indian transplant surgeons are among the best in the world. They have over 15 years of experience and above 90% success rate.
  • Information provided by other patients. Seek for the previous patient reviews considering treatment efficiency, service quality and overall satisfaction by the hospital.
