About us

As Ireland’s leading cross-border healthcare service, we help patients bypass long waiting lists in Ireland to access free, state-of-the-art treatments in EU countries under the EU Cross-Border Healthcare Directive. Have a look below to learn more and see how we can help you get the treatment you need in as little as 20 days.

Who We Are

About Healthcare Abroad

Healthcare Abroad is Ireland’s biggest, best and most trusted EU healthcare logistics company. Our ethos is centred around patient care from the moment you leave home to the moment you return home again after their healthcare journey. We match Irish patients seeking treatment with the best consultants in 87 private, internatioanlly accredited, hospitals across Europe.

The EU Cross Border Directive gives all 450 million EU citizens—including Irish residents—the right to receive treatment in another EU country. The HSE reimburses all or most medical costs, depending on the procedure and location. Healthcare Abroad can also provide assistance with financing if needed.

Offering a wide range of treatments, we’re with you every step of your healthcare journey. With over 2,000 patients already helped, we provide a trusted pathway to faster, high-quality care, so you can focus on what matters most—your health and well-being.

What We Do for You

We provide a full-service experience, ensuring every step of your journey is taken care of:

  • Hospital and Surgery Appointments: We take care of all your appointments during your stay with us, from consultant visits to scheduling your procedure.
  • Transport and Accommodation: Our Care and Transport Team are waiting for you at the airport when you land and we provide free daily transport to and from your appointments.
  • Carer Support: Our expert care teams in Ireland and the EU are there to support you every step of the way.
  • Paperwork and Reimbursement: We handle all the HSE paperwork, ensuring you get reimbursed quickly for your treatment.

Why Choose Us?

  • World-Class Care: We’ve chosen Spain as the centre of our operations because its healthcare system is ranked #3 in Europe and #7 globally.
  • Intensive Post-Operative Physio: Unlike in Ireland, patients receive a week of intensive physiotherapy after surgery, fully covered by the HSE. This dramatically improves mobility and speeds up recovery, getting you back to the things you love faster.
  • Comprehensive Reimbursement: Even your consultation with the doctor in Spain is 100% reimbursed by the HSE.
  • Expert Irish-Led Teams: Our dedicated teams in Ireland and across EU cities provide unparalleled support throughout your journey.
