Jason’s Story: How Healthcare Abroad Helped Me Get My Hip Replacement

A Long Road to Surgery

“I’ve been dealing with hip problems since 2017 or 2018. At first, they said it was arthritis, and I was put on a waiting list about a year ago. I had to take medication and get frequent injections just to try and manage the pain in my hips.”

“After Christmas this year, I got a phone call saying there was a new scheme where private hospitals were taking on public patients in Dublin. I was booked in for surgery on March 4th. I had my pre-op scheduled for three weeks before the surgery, and everything was sorted—work was arranged for my six weeks off, and I was really looking forward to getting it done.”

A Last-Minute Cancellation & A New Solution

“But on the way into the hospital for my pre-op, I got a call saying the scheme had been pulled, and all surgeries and appointments were cancelled. I had everything organized, so I was devastated. We looked into paying privately, and I was about to go ahead with that when my wife found out about Healthcare Abroad.”

“The next day, I spoke with Chris for an hour on the phone, and in that short time, we had everything sorted—my appointment, my surgery date (March 4th), the hotel booked, and flights arranged. It sounded too good to be true, but I’m here now, I’ve had the surgery, and I’m delighted.”

The Healthcare Abroad Experience

“Of course, I was skeptical at first. I couldn’t believe how they managed to keep the same surgery date and organize everything so quickly. But after talking to a few people who had used Healthcare Abroad, I started to feel reassured. When I arrived, I saw loads of other Irish people there in the same situation as me. Everyone at the hotel and hospital was brilliant—the staff, the lads helping with transport, and the support team. You’re never left stranded.”

“The whole experience has been amazing—the hotel is great, the staff are all sound, and most importantly, I got my surgery done without waiting for years.”
