My Surgery Experience at Acibadem: A UK Patient Story

In this video, a patient from the United Kingdom shares her experience of having surgery at Acibadem: arriving at the hospital, completing admission, the care she received on the ward, her recovery after the operation and the day she was discharged.

For international patients, surgery abroad is more than the procedure itself. Hospital admission, communication with the medical team, inpatient care, coordination throughout the treatment journey and discharge planning all shape the overall experience — and they are the parts a patient remembers.

At Acibadem these stages are coordinated according to each patient’s individual treatment plan: an international patient coordinator accompanies the patient from arrival, interpreters support communication with the clinical team, and discharge planning covers the medication list, follow-up arrangements and the fit-to-fly decision before the journey home.

Her story is one patient’s experience of one surgical journey. The steps described here are general; the plan, the length of stay and the recovery timeline are decided by the treating team for each patient.
