India prices are typical ranges quoted by accredited hospitals for international patients. The UK Price column is an indicative estimate of what comparable private treatment tends to cost — it is a guide for comparison, not a quoted local price, and actual prices in United Kingdom vary widely by hospital and by case. Some procedures listed may not be routinely available locally at all. Your Indian hospital quotation is confirmed in writing before you travel.
