Pacemaker Implantation
Overview
A small, smart device is placed under the skin to gently regulate your heartbeat and keep it steady. Our partner hospitals deliver pacemaker implantation using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. Cardiology procedures in Australia carry public-system waits of 60–180 days for non-urgent cases. Private gap payments commonly exceed AUD 2,000 even with insurance. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same pacemaker implantation is available from $5,500 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
