From First Call to Surgery in 30 Days

Miles’ Knee Replacement in Spain with Healthcare Abroad

“I contacted Healthcare Abroad on the 28th of February, and exactly 30 days later, on the 1st of April, I had a full knee replacement. It’s hard to believe – but it’s true.”
“Yes, there was a lot of paperwork, but it was made so simple. I kept thinking: This is too good to be true. But it was real – and it worked. I even checked with my credit union, and they said, ‘We’ve done hundreds of these with Healthcare Abroad – they’ve all been great about repayments.'”

Running Smoothly in and out of the Hospital

“What really sold me was the two-week structure: a week in hospital, followed by a week of intensive rehabilitation. That second week has been absolutely critical – physio twice a day for five days straight. It’s tough, but it works. I’ve never come across anything like it in Ireland.”
“I travelled alone and initially I was a bit nervous. But from the moment I arrived, I was surrounded by fellow Irish patients – half recovering, half about to go in. The care, the camaraderie, the sunshine – it’s like something out of a different world. The hospital itself is incredibly efficient. I had bloods, ECG, X-ray, physio consult and surgeon consultation all done within 90 minutes.

Assistance at Every Step

“Healthcare Abroad handled everything. The transfers, the hotel, the aftercare – it’s Rolls Royce treatment, without the price tag. And the physio care I’ve received here would take months to access back home. If you’re thinking about it, stop thinking – pick up the phone.”
