Why is it so much cheaper?
Low cost does not mean low quality. The efficiency comes from several structural factors:
- Exchange Rate: The strength of the Dollar and Euro against the Rupee provides instant 10x purchasing power.
- No Real Estate Premium: Indian hospitals own their land or have lower lease costs than downtown London or Manhattan clinics.
- No Litigation Overhead: While doctors are highly regulated, India does not have the massive "malpractice insurance" costs that double the price of surgery in the US.
- Salary Parity: While surgeons are wealthy by local standards, their salaries in absolute terms are lower than their Western counterparts, lowering the overall service cost.
