Escalona decided that was where she would move. “I sent all the papers, and I received several offers from different health centres, hospitals, private [facilities]. I decided to move.

Now that she has settled, she says she really enjoys her life in Ireland. Her husband is a tennis coach, and her three children have settled into the community. She loves Ireland, describing the people as “very friendly”.

Really it depends on my child.

A lot of patients from Trinity College.”The health system in Ireland is in crisis she says. “Some patients wait 18 hours in the emergency department.
