Canada is a complex mix of good healthcare, long wait times and long standing tough rules on private treatment and bans on private health insurance.

An estimated 63,459 Canadians travelled abroad for medical care in 2016, up nearly 40% over the previous year, claims a study by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. ‘Leaving Canada for Medical Care 2017’ estimates that 9,454 patients travelled abroad for general surgery, more than any other treatment.
