Canadian Patients Turn to Medical Tourism Amid Healthcare Access Challenges
Canadian patients are increasingly exploring international healthcare options due to long wait times and limited availability of specialized treatments in Canada. According to PlacidWay Medical Tourism, there is a growing interest in medical tourism for procedures such as dental care, cosmetic surgery, and fertility treatments. The Fraser Institute's report highlights a median wait time of 28.6 weeks for treatment, prompting patients to seek faster and more affordable care abroad. Countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Turkey are popular destinations for Canadians seeking specialized healthcare services.
