Why are India medical procedures so cheap; a hemodialysis would cost just $10

I learned from Indian Hospital series of Al Jazeera that hemodialysis costs only $10.00 per session.  That is vs the average in the Phil of 2,000 per session.  (or $50.00). Why is this so?  Is it because Indian physicians are willing to accept lower price/pf)

There are only 400 dialysis centers  with 1000 dialysis stations and 100 renal transplant units.  and 700 nephrologists in India

RT (renal transplants) cost $400 to $700.00

What is wrong with Phil fees/charges?   No more Hippocrates codes and sense of service?
