Arranging surgery abroad can feel daunting, but the process is more straightforward than most patients expect. Here is how treatment at Hospital VOT in Madrid works, step by step, so you know exactly what to plan for.
The process, step by step
- Share your case. Send your medical history and any recent scans or reports through the contact form.
- Receive your plan. An international coordinator and the relevant specialist review your case and reply with options, indicative timings and a written estimate.
- Confirm dates. Once you are happy with the plan, you confirm your consultation, diagnostics and surgery dates.
- Travel to Madrid. Fly into Madrid-Barajas; the hospital is in the city centre with hotels within walking distance.
- Diagnostics and surgery. Pre-operative checks, imaging if needed, then your procedure with an experienced surgical team.
- Recovery and follow-up. Recover in a modern inpatient room, then have your follow-up plan coordinated before you fly home.
What to check before you travel
- That pricing is transparent and provided in writing in advance
- That you will have English-speaking support throughout
- That the hospital is properly accredited and uses modern technology
- That follow-up and aftercare are clearly planned
