I am planning to get the Total Hip Replacement -Both sides in India. I have been tired of trying to get it in the NHS. The cost is supposed to be very low in India and I have heard the Hospitals are good.

When I saw what I thought was the first of your questions, I thought you were asking a genuine question, but when we check your others, it seems that EITHER you're doing a survey for an Indian Doctor promoting his hospital in somewhere like Delhi OR you're falling apart to the extent that ALL OF YOUR BODY PARTS NEED REPLACING.
Which is it I wonder...............

Many patients travel from UK, Ireland, and Scotland to get low cost Total Hip Replacement -Both sides in India. One of the most frequently asked questions when considering Total Hip Replacement -Both sides is the price of surgery in India.
But you should consider some other factors as well such as: ---
a) Check whether after the Total Hip Replacement -Both sides you will stay in the hospital or be discharged and taken to a hotel; ask about special care or assistance after the Total Hip Replacement -Both sides and about contingency plans in case of complications during the procedure or recovery time.
b) Do they recommend having a close friend or family member travel with you to provide support for Total Hip Replacement -Both sides In India.
c) Find out when the India’s high season is so that you can avoid exorbitant flight prices and enjoy more moderate weather.
d) Read up on local costs, the prices of meals, transport and hotels, how easy is it to travel around and whether it is considered safe to do so
The reasons for choosing to travel abroad for Total Hip Replacement -Both sides are different for everyone but with lengthy NHS waits and concerns about MRSA advantage of affordable, high quality private healthcare in India, and combining it with a tropical, cultural or relaxing holiday saving thousands of pounds compared with having the treatment done privately in the UK.
I checked out the website of Forerunners Healthcare – which is the premier most medical tourism company in India offering Total Hip Replacement -Both sides in India to International Patients. They have served more than 400 International patients from across the globe (especially US and UK) to get low cost affordable surgery in India at the best Hospitals and Medical Institutions. I think this could be of help for you as well.

I'm really worried about the fascination you appear to have with going to India for operations which can be carried out perfectly well in the UK. All this business about "Cost is very low" and "hospitals are good" intrigues me - why tell US unless this is a veiled attempt at advertising.....

Yes. I have. Both hips replaced in separate surgeries several months apart. It is the best thing I have ever done. I couldn't walk without a cane during the last 9 months before surgery. I now have my life back, can walk miles without pain, no limp, need no pain meds, and threw away my cane. Life is good.

total hip replacement is an elective procedure. that type of surgical procedure is quite expensive. you can assess where hospital you wanted to go. you cose india..so be it. i understand and it is a wise idea to collect some informations regarding the fees of the procedure and about the hospital as well where you wanted to be operated. you can! just bring along with you somebody that will assis you in every needs peri-operatively( before, during,and after the procedure).
goodluck for the said procedure.
God be with you.

My aunt had it done three times and no she doesn't have three legs. it was so long ago that the metals in her thigh moved so it had to be replaced. No unless you had it done before don't do it. If anything you might want to recuperate here comfortably. That is major surgery moving around may Delay healing process.Plus you lose a lot of blood.

Na i wouldn't do it. there's been way to many news reports about getting surgery in different country just cause its cheaper, wher ppl have died or had bad complications. Even if u've heard good things...i just wouldn't chance it. I was thinking of getting lasik done in a different country just cause it was cheaper...the i remembered the old saying " you get what you pay for" when it comes to surgeries just pay a decent amount, not the cheapest!!!
