Kathie Thornton, a 53-year old American patient, got a hip resurfacing surgery in India through Healthbase, a medical tourism facilitator. She shares her wonderful experience of the surgery and rehabilitation. People travel overseas for healthcare due to low cost of surgical care for equal or superior outcomes compared to US. The typical cost of Hip Resurfacing Surgery in the US is $50,000 whereas in India it is $7,500 resulting in over 80% savings even after factoring travel into the equation.
