Compare with your wait and price at home
See whether the trip, with a rough travel estimate, still costs less than paying in Ireland.
When not to travel
- Investigating a symptom you already have. A package is screening, not a diagnosis.
- Replacing the screening your home health service already offers for free (bowel, breast or cervical screening).

Health check-up from Ireland: questions
How much does a private health check-up cost in Ireland?

Where abroad is a health check-up cheapest from Ireland?

Do I need a referral for a health check-up abroad?
Clinics differ, but a referral or a letter from your own doctor makes the result far more useful: it says what question the health check-up should answer, and it means someone at home will act on it.
