A touching letter from Yvonne Byrne after her Spinal Fusion and Dissectomy surgery in June 2024.

Please find my story & accept my utter gratitude for changing my life.

Nine months on & I’ve never felt so healthy & pain free. Thank you all for this wonderful service. You’re saving lives!!

Last June I emailed healthcareabroad.ie after being let down so many times by the health system in Ireland.

From waiting lists, cancellations, to delays in appointments/clinics, I could no longer wait in agony for back surgery.

I felt lost & without any hope & if I’m being very honest, did not hold out much hope in being helped. But within minutes of my email, I got a phone call from healthcare abroad that changed my life!!

Within 10 days, I was in Spain & got my back surgery, along with full consultations, mri, xray, nerve testing, bloods etc beforehand. The efficiency of my appointments & the hospital, the compassion, the understanding, the care & aftercare, was all second to none. To this day I still pinch myself. I was treated & looked after like royalty by everyone involved.

I returned back home to Ireland by the end of June & now 9 months on have made a full recovery & I’m pain free!! I even got married since!!

To everyone involved… Paul here in Ireland, on the phone or email whenever
you were needed, thank you for making this whole experience so easy.

Scott in Spain who collected me from the airport was by my side for every appointment before & after, thank you for everything.

And finally all the staff, doctors, surgeons at HCB Benidorm, you’ve changed my life!! Best decision of my life!!

Thank you Healthcare Abroad!!
