In India, the estimated rate of end-stage renal illness for kidney transplantation ranges from 151 to 232 per million people. Although several programs in India offer kidney transplantation, a patient’s ability to pay for the procedure and the post-operative care it requires is a significant factor in determining whether or not they proceed with the transplant. India may be presumed to cost not less than about INR 5 Lakhs and INR 15 Lakhs, at the very minimum, in kidney transplantation. Also, this cost estimation typically does not include the expenses related to the process, hospitalisation, post-surgery medication such as immunosuppression, payment to medical practitioners, anaesthesia, lab tests, drugs, and care after the surgery.
