FairWait — Healthcare Costs & Waiting Times
FairWait is a free, independent health-information website. It sells nothing, gives no medical advice, and is suitable for all ages — about FairWait.
FairWait compares healthcare costs and waiting times across public and private pathways in 100 countries (each with a full guide — booking steps, official waiting-time source, typical private costs, prescriptions, visitor rules — the rest with at least an emergency number and general guidance), tracks your own care, helps you find a specialist, and covers what to do as a visitor abroad.
Sourced data currently live for the UK (NHS England RTT statistics, including real per-hospital figures for NHS Trusts), Ireland (National Treatment Purchase Fund) and Poland (NFZ) — see each country's page for its official source link and how current the figure is. Everywhere else shows a clearly-labelled typical average until a live source is connected.
This page needs JavaScript to run the interactive comparison tool, personal tracker and specialist finder, but every country guide below is plain, readable HTML — no script required:
The full list of all 100 countries covered is in the sitemap.
