Ruth’s Hip Operation with Healthcare Abroad
“Positivity, fulfillment, and excitement. That’s how I’d sum up my experience with Healthcare Abroad — and I know that’s a strange thing to say about surgery! But from the minute I got the phone number, everything changed.”
A Change of Pace
“I’d been on a waiting list for a year and a half. Then my doctor, who had met Debbie from Healthcare Abroad, gave me their number. That moment was life-changing. I rang just to make an inquiry, and Chris asked, “Could you go on Patrick’s Day?” That was less than a month away — I was blown away.”
“People around me were skeptical, but once I understood how it all worked — that no money passed through my hands or theirs — I realised how legitimate and well-organised it was.”
A Helping Hand
“Debbie from Healthcare Abroad shared her experience with me and that made a huge difference. I think that’s the key, especially for older people who may be more apprehensive. Knowing exactly what to bring, what the hospital would be like — it was so reassuring.”
“You’re never alone. From the journey itself to every moment in Spain, you’re completely supported. I even met another patient in the airport — we formed an instant bond. We all felt it: supported by each other, by Healthcare Abroad, and by the hospital.”
Looked After at All Times
“Caterina, part of the Healthcare Abroad team based at the hospital, is always nearby — floating around like a guardian angel. She’s your link between the hospital and the Irish support team, making everything seamless.”
“And the hospital? Efficient and I kept saying, “I feel like I’m in a TV show.” It was that perfect. Tests, EKG, X-rays — all done that first morning. Then breakfast back at the hotel.”
“You even get time to relax — stroll to the beach, sit in a café. It really felt like a break as well as a medical trip.”

"I won’t lie, I was nervous. But the minute I got here, I knew I was in safe hands. The hospital staff were incredible, putting me at ease every step of the way. Surgery went smoothly, and when I woke up, the first thing I saw was my husband beside me."
