Intrathecal Pump Implantation
Overview
An advanced implanted pump that delivers tiny doses of pain medication directly to the spinal fluid, providing exceptional pain relief with minimal side effects. Our partner hospitals deliver intrathecal pump implantation using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. Pain medicine specialist waits in Australia: 2–9 months. Self-funded interventional procedures from AUD 600–2,500 per session. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same intrathecal pump implantation is available from $11,500 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
