Patients from Nigeria, Kenya, UAE and Uzbekistan are choosing India for knee replacement not just for cost savings — but because India performs more joint replacements per year than most Western countries, meaning surgeons have exceptional experience.— indiCare Medical Team
How Long Do You Need to Stay?
Most patients stay 3–4 weeks total — 1 week in hospital, then 2–3 weeks for physiotherapy and recovery before receiving clearance to fly home. Bilateral (both knees) may require an additional week. indiCare arranges accommodation close to the hospital for the patient and companion.
