'Will literally change people's lives'- Waterford patients can avail of medical care

Waterford patients are missing out on free fast surgery in Northern Ireland that 79% of people in the county are unaware of.

Kingsbridge Private Hospital offers immediate access to world-class medical care with minimal waiting times and 100% of the medical costs reimbursed by the HSE on hip replacements, knee replacements, ACLs, hysterectomies, gall bladder procedures and other surgeries, with partial reimbursement available on a range of additional procedures.

Patients don't need to be on a waiting list to access treatment via the NIPHS.

“This data shows a major gap in awareness around cross-border healthcare,” said Mark Regan, CEO of Kingsbridge Healthcare Group.

“With long waiting lists still a challenge in the Republic, we’re committed to educating patients about how they can access timely, high-quality care at Kingsbridge, fully covered under the NIPHS.

"We know this will literally change people's lives - we see it first-hand. Over the last three months, we’ve had patients in all our hospitals from every county in Ireland. There’s no need for patients to fly to Europe for treatment when access to high-quality care is just up the road.”
