Our partner hospitals in India and Türkiye deliver internationally accredited cardiac surgery and cardiology care using the same implants, devices, and surgical protocols as U.S. hospitals — at 80–90% lower cost, with zero waitlists and English-speaking care teams.

From life-saving bypass surgery to minimally invasive valve procedures — our partner centers offer the complete spectrum of modern cardiac care.
Open heart bypass surgery restoring blood flow to the heart muscle — performed by internationally trained cardiac surgeons using the same protocols as leading U.S. hospitals.
Mechanical and biological valve replacements including minimally invasive options — for aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary valve disease.
Catheter-based procedures to open blocked coronary arteries, often without the need for open surgery — shorter recovery, lower cost.
Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement without open heart surgery — available at select partner centers for high-surgical-risk patients.
Diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders (AFib, SVT, ventricular tachycardia) using catheter ablation, pacemaker implantation, and ICD placement.
End-stage heart failure patients can access heart transplant programs at our partner hospitals with internationally trained transplant teams and post-operative support.
Both endovascular (EVAR) and open surgical repair of aortic aneurysms — performed in dedicated vascular surgery units with cardiac ICU backup.
Structured post-cardiac event recovery programs including physiotherapy, nutrition counseling, and monitored exercise — ideal for post-surgery or post-MI patients.

Common questions from U.S. patients considering cardiac care in India or Türkiye.
Open heart surgery in the U.S. typically costs $80,000–$200,000. The same procedure at a JCI-accredited hospital in India costs $5,000–$12,000 — a saving of 85–95%. Türkiye offers similar procedures for $7,000–$15,000. Sultan GHC provides a personalised cost estimate based on your specific case at no charge.
Yes. Many of our partner cardiac surgeons completed fellowships and postgraduate training in the United States, United Kingdom, or Germany. They regularly operate on international patients and publish in peer-reviewed journals. Our hospitals perform thousands of cardiac surgeries annually with outcomes comparable to top U.S. centers.
Safety depends on your current cardiac stability. Sultan GHC works with your U.S. cardiologist and our partner hospital to determine whether air travel is medically appropriate. For stable patients, travel is typically safe. A pre-travel clearance review is included in our case management service.
Most cardiac surgery patients require 14–21 days in-country — pre-op evaluation (2–3 days), surgery, ICU monitoring (2–4 days), general ward recovery (5–7 days), and a post-op review before flying clearance. Your Case Manager coordinates the full itinerary.
Absolutely. We coordinate flights, hotels, and local transport for one or more companions. Most hospitals have international patient lounges and guest rooms near cardiac wards, so your companion can be by your side throughout your stay.
