For patients in Bangladesh facing kidney failure, India is the closest and most affordable destination for world-class transplant surgery. Delhi is just a short flight from Dhaka — and with Wiseheal's Bengali-speaking coordinators, the entire process feels like home.

This guide answers every question Bangladeshi patients and their families have about kidney transplant in India.

India offers a unique combination that no other country can match for Bangladeshi patients:

• Proximity — Delhi is a 2-hour flight from Dhaka
• Cost — 70–80% less than Singapore, UK, or USA
• Language — Bengali-speaking coordinators at Wiseheal
• Quality — JCI-accredited hospitals with internationally trained surgeons
• No waiting list — living donor transplants can be arranged within weeks

The all-inclusive cost of a kidney transplant in India is $13,000 to $18,000 USD (approximately BDT 14–20 lakh). This includes:

• Complete pre-transplant evaluation
• Surgery and anaesthesia
• Hospital stay (3–4 weeks)
• Post-operative medications
• ICU care and monitoring

This compares to $70,000–$100,000 in Singapore or the UK — a saving of over BDT 60 lakh.

Apollo Hospitals, Delhi A globally recognised name in transplant medicine. Apollo's multi-organ transplant programme has a dedicated renal unit with experienced nephrologists and transplant surgeons.

Most international patients at Indian hospitals undergo living-related donor transplants. This means a family member — your spouse, sibling, parent, or child — donates one kidney.

The advantages are significant:

• No waiting list
• Better long-term outcomes than deceased donor transplants
• Surgery can be scheduled within weeks of evaluation

The donor undergoes a thorough medical and psychological evaluation before being cleared. Wiseheal coordinates the entire donor workup alongside the hospital team.

Bangladeshi patients need a Medical Visa (MED Visa) to travel to India for treatment.

Required documents:

• Valid Bangladeshi passport
• Hospital invitation letter (Wiseheal arranges this)
• Recent medical reports
• Proof of sufficient funds
• Passport-size photographs
• Completed visa application form

Where to apply: Indian High Commission in Dhaka or Indian Assistant High Commission in Chittagong or Sylhet.

Processing time: 5–10 working days.

Wiseheal provides the hospital invitation letter and guides you through the entire visa application process in Bengali.

One of the most important things for Bangladeshi patients is being able to communicate clearly during a medical crisis. Wiseheal has Bengali-speaking coordinators who:

• Translate all medical reports and doctor consultations
• Accompany you to hospital appointments
• Help you understand your treatment plan
• Communicate with your family back in Bangladesh
• Handle all administrative paperwork

You will never feel lost or confused during your treatment.

Is it safe to travel from Bangladesh to India for surgery? Yes. Thousands of Bangladeshi patients travel to India for medical treatment every year. Delhi is a 2-hour flight from Dhaka, and Wiseheal's team is with you from arrival to departure.

How long will I need to stay in India? Plan for 6–8 weeks total — 1–2 weeks for evaluation, 3–4 weeks post-surgery, and 1–2 weeks for follow-up before flying home.

What if my donor is not a match? If your living donor is not a blood-type or tissue match, the hospital can explore paired kidney exchange programmes. Our medical team will advise you on the best option for your specific case.

Can I get a second opinion before committing? Absolutely. Wiseheal provides a free second opinion from a senior nephrologist within 24 hours of receiving your reports. There is no obligation to proceed.
