The International Patient Program provides a single point of access, service and coordination for international patients and their families. International inquiries for treatment are reviewed through an evaluation and triage protocol, including an assessment by a multi-disciplinary team. On-going specialized customer service ensures that communication is centralized and customer needs are met.
Mission Statement
We believe that international children should be provided with the highest quality of care and those seeking treatment at SickKids should receive timely access through a formal and equitable review process.
