Pneumonectomy Surgery
Overview
A major but well-perfected lung surgery to remove an entire lung when needed for serious disease. Our partner hospitals deliver pneumonectomy using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. Open-heart surgery in Australia averages AUD 60,000–90,000 self-funded with public waits of 90–270 days for stable patients. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same pneumonectomy is available from $10,500 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
