What types of surgery can I have as an international patient at Ribera hospitals in Spain?

Ribera Care International offers access to a wide range of specialties, including orthopaedic surgery (hip replacement, knee replacement, shoulder surgery), cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology, cataract and ophthalmic procedures, urological and gynaecological interventions, and oncological surgery. Each patient's case is assessed individually to identify the most clinically appropriate pathway.

How do I arrange private surgery in Spain through Ribera Care International?

The process begins with a direct enquiry to the Ribera Care International team. An English-speaking coordinator will review your medical history, connect you with the appropriate specialist, and arrange an initial consultation — which can often take place remotely by video before you travel. There is no commitment required at this stage.

Is it safe to have surgery in Spain as an international patient?

Spain's private healthcare sector operates under rigorous clinical governance standards, and Ribera hospitals meet the regulatory requirements of one of Europe's most established health systems. As with any surgical decision, patients are encouraged to review accreditation status, ask about outcomes data, and request specialist credentials before proceeding. Ribera Care International provides this information openly.

What happens to my follow-up care after I return home from surgery in Spain?

Ribera Care International provides comprehensive discharge documentation in English, which your local GP or specialist can use to manage ongoing care. Remote follow-up consultations with the surgical team are available after discharge. In the event of a complication, the team works directly with patients and their local providers to support continuity of care.

How does the cost of private surgery in Spain compare to private treatment in the UK or Ireland?

Costs depend on the procedure and individual case complexity. Many patients from the UK and Ireland find that the total cost — including travel and accommodation — is lower than equivalent private surgery at home, while access is significantly faster. Ribera Care International provides transparent cost estimates as part of the initial consultation, with no hidden fees.
