How Much Does Open heart surgery Cost in India in AUD?

Open heart surgery in India typically costs from AUD $7,350 to AUD $13,427. Prices depend on the specific heart condition, the surgical technique used, and the length of intensive care required. Patients save around 87% by travelling to India from Australia, where the average private cost reaches AUD $83,389. Packages generally include the procedure, 5–7 days of hospitalisation, diagnostics, and initial medications.

  • Atrial septal defect surgery: AUD $6,784 to AUD $11,590 for repairing a hole in the heart wall.
  • Tetralogy of Fallot Surgery: AUD $8,198 to AUD $13,427 for correcting complex congenital heart defects.
  • Ventricular Septal Defect Surgery: AUD $7,067 to AUD $12,014 for closing openings between heart chambers.
  • Advanced surgical techniques: Robotic-assisted or minimally invasive methods typically increase the total price by 20–30%.
  • Hospital tiering: Premium private facilities in Delhi and Mumbai often charge 15–20% more than regional centres.

Bookimed Expert Insight: India offers exceptional value for complex cardiac cases usually restricted to major Western hubs. Global Hospital Chennai, for instance, performed India's first minimally invasive lung and heart-kidney transplants. For Australians, seeking high-volume centres like Apollo Hospital Indraprastha ensures access to JCI-accredited care. These facilities manage over 1,000,000 patients annually, providing expertise that rivals private Australian hospitals at a fraction of the out-of-pocket cost.

"The nurse are nice and the food is very good and my mom surgery went very good by Dr
I want to thank Dr.Murtada, because he’s the one who arrange it with the hospital. he was with us the whole way asking if we need anything, if everything is OK and I keep asking him a question too but he doesn’t get tired he googled and answer or he calls them straight to figure out the situation. At first me doing it by myself make me tired of emailing all of the hospital in India but after I contact Bookimed he finish everything that it takes me three weeks to due in 2days.The hospital was good to us, they arrange driver named Manpreet Singh that can speak English and take us everywhere we ask am and help us travel popular places, he is the best. I want to thank Karan Kumar for being with us until the end he is the one who take care of everything in the hospital for us and outside of the hospital too. The nurse are nice and the food is very good and my mom surgery went very good by Dr. Anoop k Ganjoo, he is really good doctor. I will recommend you changing your dollar to rupees before going to India.
