I didnt know such surgeries could be performed in India. I didnt even know such surgeries were possible in the first place let alone being done in India


Interestingly, not only can such surgeries be performed in India but some kinds of surgeries have better outcomes in India for cheaper prices than in America. I believe it's some kinds of heart surgeries that I saw the stats for.


Surgeons who do lots of surgery are better than other surgeons who don't. This advantage dominates those of training, resources, years of experience, etc. It's no surprise that inexpensive surgeons in a populous nation would be the best.


practice makes perfect


India has some very good doctors and hospitals but are generally unviable financially for most of the population. Hypothetically, if the doctors and health staff lost to the West and Middle East over the last 50 years remained, it would have much stronger reputation for great doctors. But that’s again a what-if thing.
