“For the past eight years, I struggled with pain, never realizing it was my hip. When I saw my GP last September, I was told I needed a hip replacement. Without private health insurance, I was placed on the public waiting list. It was almost a year before I got a call for an assessment. The service there was great, but I heard many people had to wait another two to three years for the operation. I couldn’t wait that long.”
“Delaying the surgery would lead to compensation, I would need to get surgery on my other hip and eventually my knee because of waiting so long. That meant my golfing days would be over. I love golf, it’s my thing, and I didn’t want to lose it.”
“Then, someone I know who works at a medical centre told me about a client who had just got a hip replacement in Spain – and they were ecstatic about it. I started looking into it and found Healthcare Abroad. When I called, I spoke to Sorcha, and there was no messing around – she laid everything out straight, no sales pitch, just the facts.”
“I was skeptical at first, so I investigated the Cross Border Directive. When I saw it was legitimate, I thought, why wouldn’t the rest of this be legitimate? From that moment on, everything fell into place.”
“From the moment I arrived in Spain, everything was seamless. No years of waiting. I had my consultation on Monday, surgery on Tuesday, recovery in the hospital until Friday, then physiotherapy for a week. The surgeon explained everything clearly, and the whole process was smooth.”
If a treatment is publicly available in Ireland, it can be accessed with Healthcare Abroad. We are Ireland’s leading Cross Border Treatment Facilitators.
