Lung Biopsy
Overview
An image-guided procedure where a thin needle takes a small lung tissue sample. Our partner hospitals deliver lung biopsy using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. Pulmonology specialist waits in Australia: 2–6 months. Self-funded bronchoscopy AUD 2,500–4,500. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same lung biopsy is available from $650 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
