HEART TRANSPLANT IN INDIA
Heart transplantation in India is the only chance for many foreign patients to survive. A heart transplant is indicated for a patient whose chance of survival for a year without a transplant is
less than 50%. Heart transplantation is rare in many developing countries. This is due to the lack of donor organs and the necessary experience of specialists.

12 successful heart transplants have been performed at the Global Hospital Chennai. Implantation of an artificial heart is also possible in India. This procedure does not require verification of blood groups and the use of immunosuppressants. Cost varies from
$ 150,000 to $ 180,000.
