How Much Does Lung transplant Cost in India in AUD?

Lung transplant procedures in India typically cost from AUD $64,883 to AUD $108,139. Final expenses depend on the transplant type, hospital choice, and length of ICU stay. Australians save approximately 78% compared to local private costs, which average AUD $389,300. Standard inclusions often cover surgeon fees, anaesthetic, and initial diagnostic workups in major medical hubs like Chennai, Gurgaon, and Bengaluru.

  • Single lung transplant: typically costs 30–40% less than double lung procedures.
  • Double lung transplant: requires longer surgery times and more intensive post-operative care units.
  • Post-transplant care: often adds 15–20% for specialised rehabilitation and long-term immunosuppressant monitoring.
  • Remote logistics: emergency air ambulance transport between cities can significantly increase the total budget.

Bookimed Expert Insight: India offers exceptional value for complex thoracic surgeries. Global Hospital Chennai became the first in India to perform minimally invasive lung transplants. Their team, led by specialists like Dr. Sandeep Attawar, maintains success rates of 85–90%. Some larger facilities like Manipal Hospitals manage millions of patients annually. This high volume supports highly specialised surgical teams at a fraction of Australian costs.
