The International Patient Program (IPP) facilitates UHN's vision of global impact by providing medically necessary care to international patients, with emphasis on those who are not able to access the required health care services in their home country.
International patients are required to meet eligibility criteria, complete an application package and follow a standard process to be considered to receive care at UHN.
Our central IPP office manages all international referrals and supports international patients, families or their representatives through the program application, acceptance process and provision of care. All applications are screened by our medical director and medical professionals to determine if care can be provided at UHN.
If you have any questions regarding the IPP program, please contact our office by phone, email or fax.

Please Note:
It has come to our attention that the UHN name is being used in scams. The scams may ask patients for money or information. These requests may come from an email address similar to a UHN address but not the same. Please do not provide any personal or financial information and do not send money to anyone you suspect of fraud. If you are concerned that you may have been contacted as part of an IPP scam, UHN Privacy at 416 340 4800 ext. 6937.
The fraudulent activity has been reported to local authorities. They recommend that if an individual suspects they have provided money or information to a recruitment scam or for any fraudulent purpose, they should file a report with their local police (if in Canada). Alternatively, those outside of Canada should report an incident by calling 1 888 495 8501 or by visiting the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
