The cost of liver transplant varies in different countries. But still, patients think that higher price means higher quality and success rate. It is a misleading criterion in choosing a hospital for a liver transplant.

Best country for liver transplant in the world is India. The procedure is 2-3 times cheaper compared with the leading European hospitals, but the success rate is even higher. The low price is explained by the following reasons:

• Indian hospitals do not buy foreign drugs, they produce own ones. Their quality is the same as American medications.
• General low pricing in India.
• The country is considered to be the best place to have a liver transplant because the local doctors have a vast experience in performing the procedure. For instance, some Indian liver transplant surgeons have conducted over 4,000 liver transplants, German ones - only up to 500.

Bookimed patients receive access to best rated liver transplant hospitals abroad: leave a request and receive all the information about any country and center you want.

The success of the surgery depends not only on the country a patient chooses for a liver transplant but a doctor who performs this procedure.

This liver transplant specialist has performed the biggest number of the procedures - over 4,000. The Professor is the Guinness Book of Records for conducting a liver transplant for a 5-day child who is now a 21 years adult person.
