Introduction
Imagine this: a loved one has just been discharged from the hospital after surgery. Doctors advise you to set up a hospital bed, oxygen support, and mobility aids at home for the next few months. You immediately wonder - should I buy these expensive items, or simply rent them?
This is a very common situation for Indian families today. Medical equipment like hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, wheelchairs, walkers, suction machines, and monitors can cost anywhere from a few thousand to lakhs of rupees. For something that may be needed for only a few weeks or months, buying is often wasteful.
That’s why medical equipment rental in India has become a practical and budget-friendly solution.
At Aarogyaa Bharat, we provide both rental and purchase options for a wide range of medical equipment. Our goal is simple: make healthcare at home affordable, accessible, and stress-free for families.
When Renting is the Better Option
1. Short-Term Recovery Needs
If a patient is recovering from fractures, knee replacement surgery, or spinal surgery, recovery usually lasts a few weeks to months. Equipment like wheelchairs or hospital beds may be needed only temporarily. Renting is far more cost-effective here.
Example: A hospital bed costs around ₹40,000 - ₹60,000 to buy, while Aarogyaa Bharat provides the same bed on rent for ₹1,500 - ₹2,500 per month.
2. Post-Surgery Home Care
Hospitals often discharge patients earlier than before, leaving families responsible for continuing care at home. You may need an ICU-like setup at home - with oxygen, suction, and patient monitoring devices - for 2 - 3 months. Instead of investing lakhs, short-term rental keeps expenses manageable.
3. Trial Before Buying
Not sure which wheelchair, bed, or concentrator is right? Renting gives families the freedom to try equipment before committing. For example, you can rent an electric wheelchair for a month to see if it suits the patient, and then decide whether to buy.
4. Budget-Friendly Choice
Medical emergencies already bring financial stress. Buying equipment adds more burden. Renting can save 60–80% of costs, leaving you with more funds for medicines, physiotherapy, and nursing.
5. Temporary Elderly Care
Sometimes families need equipment only for a short period, such as end-of-life care for elderly parents or support during seasonal illnesses. Renting ensures you provide comfort and dignity without spending unnecessarily.
When Buying Makes More Sense
While renting is suitable in many cases, buying is better if:
The patient has a chronic condition (e.g., paralysis, lifelong oxygen therapy).
The equipment will be used daily for years, not months.
Families want permanent ownership without worrying about rental extensions.
