Introduction
Canadian healthcare covers many things, but access to bariatric surgery can be extremely limited. Long wait times and strict criteria leave many Canadians without options. Turkey offers a quality alternative.
The Canadian Healthcare Context
Provincial Coverage
Bariatric surgery coverage varies by province:
The Challenge
- Wait times: Often 2-5+ years
- Strict BMI and comorbidity criteria
- Limited surgical centres
