Medical travel to Spain

Spain’s cultural diversity, large land area, modern infrastructure, low cost of living make a visit a very diverse experience in terms of culture, music, gastronomy and ecology for tourists. And all this without the high crime rates compared to other medical travel destinations.

Apart from the fact that Spain has a large number of hospitals and clinics approved for medical travel, Spain is No. 7 on the World Health Organization’s list of countries with the best medical care. Another study from the same report shows that the Spaniards are in second place when it comes to satisfaction with the healthcare system. Medical travel to Spain is therefore increasing every year.

For all fellow sufferers, no matter how sad the circumstances are, when you visit the rehabilitation clinic in Moraira, you can learn a lot with the cooperation of this fantastic team of therapists, both physically and mentally!

Jos Jansen, the Netherlands

I trained hard with the therapists for 8 weeks. As a result, I now have much more stamina. I also feel much better. The healthy air on the Costa Blanca has also helped.

Mildred May, The Hague

I was made to feel very comfortable by the lovely caring therapists. I also stayed in a nice apartment where I got some rest. These 6 weeks have made me a lot stronger and more confident.

From the first moment that my wife Esther came to Spain to the last moment she was taken care of. Esther's recovery has been worked on both physically and spiritually and with success! We have never regretted it and will recommend it to anyone!

Really, what a fantastic rehabilitation center! Just got back 2.5 weeks after hip surgery. What a professional and lovely beautiful people! Highly recommended for anyone who gets "no" aftercare here, I recommend: go to Spain and Medifit ... health insurers reimburse this. Fantastic team!!

You can literally leave the daily worries at home and focus completely on your recovery, both mentally and physically. A great concept and great lovely people! I have a goal again and see the future a bit, it was zero for this adventure!
