Apollo Hospital Indraprastha serves as a primary oncology hub within South Asia’s largest medical network. The JCI-accredited centre treats over one million international patients annually using advanced TrueBeam STx and da Vinci technology. Diagnostic PET/CT scans start from around A$900. Non-invasive stereotaxic radiosurgery typically costs around A$10,500. For surgical cases, a lobectomy may cost around A$14,700–19,600. The hospital provides English-speaking staff and on-site accommodation to support those travelling from Australia for care.

Fortis Gurgaon is ranked as the second most technically advanced hospital globally by Top Master’s in Healthcare. The centre uses a 256-slice CT scanner and PET-CT for precise lung tumour staging. Treatment options range from targeted therapy and chemotherapy to advanced radiation techniques like VMAT and CyberKnife. Robotic-assisted surgery using the Da Vinci system allows for 8 mm incisions. This typically reduces hospital stays to 2 days. International patients receive support from a personal coordinator and airport transfers for a smoother experience.

Medanta Hospital was the first Indian facility to provide multi-specialty robotic surgery for complex cases.

Located 18 kilometres from Indira Gandhi International Airport, the facility offers a convenient bypass of Delhi traffic for Australians flying in for lung cancer care.
