NHS Sends Patients Abroad - Here’s Why UK Patients Are Choosing To Go Abroad for Urgent Medical Treatments

The NHS is facing one of its most critical moments. Waiting lists have surged to record lengths, leaving thousands of patients in pain, uncertainty, and in some cases, danger. In response, the UK government has begun funding medical treatments outside of the country, sending patients to Europe for surgeries like hip replacements, cancer treatments, and other urgent operations.

But what if you didn’t have to wait for approval?

What if you could get world-class treatment now, with financing options and immediate access to top-tier hospitals and experienced specialists?

The Growing Crisis in the NHS:

Recent news reports have revealed that the NHS is actively paying to send patients abroad for surgeries that can no longer be delayed. The number of such cases has increased by 42%, costing the system over £4.3 million. This isn't just about inconvenience-it's about patient safety, dignity, and time-sensitive care.

Patients are being flown out to Poland, Lithuania, and other EU countries. But there's a better, safer, and more comprehensive option: Turkey and North Cyprus.
