Heart Care Abroad
One in eight people in the UK have been diagnosed with a disease of the heart or circulatory system. With heart problems being such a wide-spread issue, many people are opting to have heart surgery abroad.
For example, George Marshall, a 72 year old patient from Bradford was diagnosed with coronary heart disease. He opted to go for a heart bypass operation at Wockhardt Hospital, India (an affiliate of The Medical Tourist Company).

Customers can usually be treated quickly whilst saving thousands of pounds compared to private healthcare. Typically, a heart bypass in the UK can cost £15,000, the equivalent in a country such as India costs from as little as £6,000.
The medical centres we use have high standards of hygiene, are well-equipped with the latest technologies and facilities, and have round-the-clock cardiac care teams to ensure that high success rates are achieved.
Cardiac services available include:
- Open heart surgery
- Coronary artery bypass graft
- Coronary angiogram and cardiac catherisation
- Coronary angioplasties with stenting
- Radio frequency allations to treat palpitations
- Paediatric open heart surgery
- Closed heart and vascular treatment
Case Study - Atrial Flutter
The Medical Tourist Company organised visas, heart care and a recuperation holiday for Mike Cooke. Here is is his comments:
I have just returned from India after a heart operation. The Medical Tourist Company recommended a specialist hospital in Mumbai and not only did they make all the arrangements for me, arranged visas, a car to collect me from the airport, but they also put me in touch with the surgeon who would perform the operation and sent me his full CV. I even spoke to the surgeon before leaving. Everything went exactly as arranged. The hospital was fantastic, like a 5 star hotel with service to match, the staff and doctors second to none.
Operation over, the hospital and The Medical Tourist Company arranged a short holiday to Goa for me and my partner and kept in contact all the time. I never felt alone through all this and feel very lucky to have found the Medical Tourist Company. They even sent representatives to visit each day. My total bill was about a quarter of the UK projected cost.
I heartily (forgive the pun) recommend the Medical Tourist Company and welcome any questions from prospective medical tourists.
