There are a few doctors who still do charity work for poor patients.
You can contact Dr Swetal Bhavsar at Ahmedabad / Mumbai.
In my practice 95% patients have insurance and they pay full fees.
Usually Dr. Bhavsar's charges are 5000 USD for 1 side Knee Replacement but sometimes in genuinely poor patients he has been doing free surgeries as if an angel of god.
It is my personal experience that many of my poor patients I refer to him and he gives best results even when it is charity work.
