The other patients (7%) who benefit from Quebec’s expertise come from Europe, Australia, and the United States.<\/p>\n
The high percentage of Canadian patients reflects that in Quebec, as well as in other Canadian provinces, government programs cover almost 100% of the costs for most types of gender affirmation surgery and for the requisite medications.<\/p>\n
