“I remember the first time I felt that odd twinge in my hip. Initially, I brushed it off, thinking it was just a strain. But over time, the pain got worse—slowly, then all at once. I tried physiotherapy, got the X-rays, and finally heard the words: ‘You have arthritis… in both hips.’”
“At first, I thought, Okay, let’s manage this. Surgery seemed like a last resort. But as the months went on, the pain took over my life. Walking was a struggle, sleep was impossible, and even simple things like putting on socks became a challenge.”
“I started looking at options. I had private health insurance, but there was uncertainty as to whether they would fully cover the surgery. The public waiting list was years long so I was stuck—until a friend mentioned Healthcare Abroad.”
“From the moment I made that first call, everything changed. They handled the paperwork, guided me through every step, and within weeks, I was in a hospital receiving the care I needed. I knew I would need both hips replaced eventually, but the right hip was giving me more grief, so I did that one first.”
“One year later, I’ve come back for the left one, and everything has gone well, thankfully. Both times the staff were incredible, and the recovery support was amazing.
There’s always a group of patients at the hotel which is great because you reassure each other, and talking with people who are also getting treatment done makes it easier.”
