Has anyone had or considered having surgery abroad ? I need acl reconstruction and considering having it done abroad as the cost is far more affordable .

    If I ripped my acl in the Uk I would fly to Austria to get it done. It's free on the E111 health card and they fix 1000's each year due to so many going bad due to skiing and snowboarding. I know many people that have had it done here and they always do a great job.

    Had my hernia done at the Hospital Particular do Algarve in Alvor a few weeks ago. I didn't pay, as I had been waiting a year the Portuguese NHS paid for it. The care and service was great. Might be worth Googling them and sending an e-mail to get a quote GHE?
