Problem
Canadians face a public healthcare capacity crisis characterized by unreasonable wait times and poor access to care, leaving many patients without timely treatment options. Navigating international medical care independently is complex and risky, with concerns about provider quality, medical record coordination, and unpredictable costs.
Solution
Flock provides a medical travel service that connects Canadian patients with vetted, high-quality international healthcare providers. The company's team of medical professionals assesses and partners with surgeons and facilities to ensure quality outcomes, while a licensed nurse navigator guides patients through the entire process. Patients use a private portal that securely stores medical records and connects local and international care teams for continuity of care. Flock coordinates all travel logistics, provides transparent pricing in Canadian dollars, and manages the complete care journey from initial consultation through post-treatment follow-up.
