I am planning to get the Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction 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.

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.....

Many patients travel from UK, Ireland, and Scotland to get low cost Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in India. One of the most frequently asked questions when considering Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is the price of surgery in India.
But you should consider some other factors as well such as: ---
a) Check whether after the Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction you will stay in the hospital or be discharged and taken to a hotel; ask about special care or assistance after the Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction 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 Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction 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 Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction 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 Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction 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 would have no qualms about having hospital treatment in India but you will have to research your hospitals extremely well. Many people fail to realise that whilst India has a vast population of very poor people it also has the largest middle class of any country in the world. Consequently, lots of comparatively rich people means there is good hospital care available. Also remember that a great many of our surgeons and doctors qualified in India. There is an element of risk involved but then there is still risk if you have surgery here - no surgery is risk free.
I have been to India many times and have several friends who have received treatment in hospital. They were all well cared for and survived their ordeal. I think the key is research, research. Many hospitals in India do not provide food - it has to be brought in by friends and family and if you don't have any of those then you will be living on take away pizza or whatever can be delivered by nearby restaurants. Also, it is a good idea to go armed with presents for the people who will care for you such as nurses - it can secure better and kinder care.

Ha!!
You are the same person who posted yesterday about the angioplasty. Goodness me you are in terrible health, not :(
If the health service in India is so good, why do all the Indians come over here when they get sick.
