Cardiac Bypass Cost: Kerala vs UK vs UAE

Heart bypass surgery (CABG) is an incredibly important, life-saving procedure. But let’s be honest—when you look at the price tag in many Western and Middle Eastern hospitals, the cost alone can be incredibly stressful for families. In the United States, a cardiac bypass surgery can average around $120,000. In the United Kingdom, private treatment is roughly $40,000, and even in private hospitals in the UAE, you might be looking at costs near $28,000.

This is exactly why so many patients are choosing to travel to Calicut, Kerala. Here, leading internationally accredited hospitals provide the exact same high-level surgery—using the same US FDA-approved materials and advanced operation theatres—for around $6,000. And yes, that typically covers your hospital stay, all diagnostic tests, and your dedicated medical coordination.
