What is ENT?
ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) covers a wide range of conditions affecting the head and neck. Treatments include endoscopic sinus surgery, tonsillectomy, cochlear implants, LASIK, and advanced endoscopic procedures. India's ENT and ophthalmology departments are equipped with the latest technology at 60–70% lower cost than the UK with no waiting lists.

Types of ENT Treatments

Tonsillectomy
Removal of tonsils for recurrent infections or obstructive sleep apnoea.
