Knee Replacement - Single Knee Surgery -should I travel to India for this?

I am planning to get the Knee Replacement - Single Knee Surgery 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.

Many patients travel from UK, Ireland, and Scotland to get low cost Knee Replacement - Single Knee surgery in India. One of the most frequently asked questions when considering Knee Replacement - Single Knee surgery is the price of surgery in India.

But you should consider some other factors as well such as: ---

a) Check whether after the Knee Replacement - Single Knee surgery you will stay in the hospital or be discharged and taken to a hotel; ask about special care or assistance after the Knee Replacement - Single Knee surgery 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 Knee Replacement - Single Knee Surgery In India.

c) Find out when the India鈥檚 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 Knee Replacement - Single Knee surgery 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 鈥?which is the premier most medical tourism company in India offering Knee Replacement - Single Knee surgery 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.

just watch out for the risk of infection after the surgery....

I would not recommend that. There are other countries with private medical care, private hospitals and reasonable prices. You might even consider coming to Japan, or perhaps Hong Kong or Singapore, shop around and get as much information as you can before making a decision, don't panic!

No. Go to Thailand's Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. It's fantastic.
Check out the website.

The standards at the Apollo Hospital in Colombo are high. The equipment is good and the doctors and surgeons tend to be trained abroad. I think this is probably a better option than India. You can get a brochure on line.

The big advantage is that people in Sri Lanka generally speak English, whereas in Thailand they do not.

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...............

What I can't understand is why someone asks basically the same question five times? Please explain.

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.....
