A British pensioner who retired to Spain has travelled to Bahrain to undergo a vital surgery and saved more than 20,000 Euros (approximately BD8,800) on making the kingdom her health tourism choice.
Pam Hook, who had a Prolapse, underwent surgery on Monday at King Hamad American Mission Hospital and is now recovering well.
The 81-year-old, originally from West London, had been waiting 10 agonising months for treatment having suffered a prolapse, and would have faced a massive health bill from a private hospital in Spain … until a family friend from Bahrain recommended flying to his home country.
“The doctors and staff at the hospital have been absolutely fantastic,” Ms Hook told the GDN. “My good friend, Bahraini Nader Shaheen, came to Spain and witnessed the problems I was having.
“He suggested that it would be a good idea to come to Bahrain to have the operation because it was so very expensive to have it carried out privately in Spain. I’m glad I did and would highly recommend people to come to the kingdom for their medical procedures at a fraction of the price they may have paid at home!” she added.
