Cancer Screening
Overview
Quick, painless tests like mammograms, Pap smears, and PSA blood tests that catch cancer early โ often before symptoms appear. Our partner hospitals deliver cancer screening using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience โ many internationally trained. Cancer treatment in Australia involves significant out-of-pocket costs even with Medicare; novel therapies often unsubsidised. Private waits for chemo initiation: 2โ6 weeks. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same cancer screening is available from $300 โ at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost โ in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
