From Donegal to Dénia – Ita’s Story
This time last year Ita from Donegal never thought she would be having surgery in Spain. Fast forward 12 months and she has had two knee replacements with Healthcare Abroad, and is delighted with the results
“Going abroad for surgery never really crossed my mind, but after years of pain, misdiagnoses, and being told I’d be waiting years in Ireland, I knew I had to do something.”
Sceptical at First
“A friend mentioned Healthcare Abroad, and like many people I know, I dismissed it without even thinking. There were days where I was in agony. One Saturday, I had enough and I picked up the phone and called you guys. At first, I thought, “This is too good to be true.” But I was put at ease as soon as I spoke to the team. Within days, my flights, accommodation, and transport were all sorted. I was sceptical for a bit, but I didn’t need to be, everything was so professional and totally exceeded my expectations.”
“I had my first knee replaced in October, and by February, I was back for the second knee. I didn’t even contemplate going any other route than Healthcare Abroad. The care was unbelievable—no waiting lists, no being left on a trolley, no rushed appointments. The doctors took every precaution, the physio was fantastic, and the hospital was immaculate. The staff knew me, remembered my case, and treated me like a person, not a number.”
Ready for the Dancefloor
“Now? I’m pain-free. No more struggling up stairs. No more painkillers. Two weddings in June, and I’ll be dancing at both!”
“I have recommended Healthcare Abroad to so many people, a friend of mine was over for an elbow replacement just before Christmas and he was delighted too.”
“I would recommend Healthcare Abroad to anyone in Ireland, whatever age you are, they might be able to help you.”
