The Reality for U.S. Heart Patients

Heart Disease is America's #1 Killer. Heart Surgery Costs Are Breaking Families.

According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Yet for the millions of Americans without adequate insurance — or facing high deductibles and surprise bills — accessing cardiac care can mean bankruptcy.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Heart Surgery Abroad — FAQs

Common questions from U.S. patients considering cardiac care in India or Türkiye.

How much does open heart surgery cost in India compared to the U.S.?+

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.

Are cardiac surgeons in India and Türkiye as qualified as U.S. surgeons?+

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.

Is it safe to travel for heart surgery?+

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.

How long will I need to stay after heart surgery?+

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.

Does Sultan GHC help with companions traveling with me?+

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.

Can I get a second cardiology opinion before deciding on surgery?+

Yes — and we strongly encourage it. Sultan GHC arranges a complimentary first remote consultation from our network cardiologists within 24–48 hours. Submit your echocardiogram, angiography reports, and recent labs. Our specialists review your case and recommend a treatment path. Your first review is at no cost, no obligation.
