Start Your Journey TodayWhy Canadians Look Abroad for Healthcare
The decision is driven by a desire for timely access and affordable options for services not covered by provincial health plans.
The Access Crisis: Escaping the Wait
The primary driver for many Canadians is escaping debilitatingly long wait times. In 2023, the median wait time from specialist referral to treatment was **27.7 weeks**—the longest in the nation's history. This isn't just an inconvenience; it's a period of prolonged pain and diminished quality of life.
Medical tourism offers an immediate solution: **"Healthcare on your schedule."** Get the care you need, when you need it, especially in efficient, world-class centres in destinations like India.
The Cost Crisis: Affordable Alternatives
For services not covered by provincial plans—like most **cosmetic surgery, dental care, and certain fertility treatments**—costs in Canada can be prohibitive. Medical tourism provides access to the same high-quality procedures at a fraction of the domestic price.
This allows you to get the care you want without the financial burden, making wellness an attainable goal.
