Private hospital treatment abroad

Have you considered going overseas for private hospital treatment?

Hospitals in countries such as Australia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Dubai, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Latvia, Malaysia, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, and Belgium, have excellent medical and surgical facilities and offer an attractive alternative which you may wish to consider if you are looking for private hospital treatment.

Prices for hospital treatment in Europe are highly competitive. For example, the cost of a hip replacement operation in a private hospital in the UK might be around £7,000 to £8,000. By opting to go for treatment in another European country, you could save £3,000 to £4,000. Compare prices for surgical tourism.

We also operate a sister site - Treatment Abroad - for UK residents who are seeking surgery, cosmetic surgery, dentistry and infertility treatment abroad, and a medical tourism reviews site. We also have a free guide to medical tourism which is available for download.
