Expensive private healthcare and long queues for surgery are causing Finns to travel to private hospitals in nearby Estonia. Despite the fact that if something goes wrong it may be difficult to receive compensation, the affordable rates in Estonia are proving a big enough draw and a risk worth taking for Finns.

Dental clinics in Estonia have attracted Finns for many a year, but now Estonian private hospitals are also seeing an increasing number of Finns queuing up for outpatient surgery.
