About this organization
Gender affirming surgery (GAS), also referred to as sex reassignment or gender confirming surgery, is an insured benefit in Nova Scotia (NS). Coverage for GAS is consistent with what most other Canadian provinces insure, and so are the processes used to provide access to care.
The funding will help those who are deemed eligible and for whom the surgery is an important part of their gender transition. Counselling, psychotherapy and hormone therapy have always been funded when provided in public institutions in NS.
Gender affirming surgery can be categorized into three areas:
Removal of the internal and external organs associated with the current sex
Construction of the external characteristics of the desired sex
Procedures to enhance the appearance and more closely match the desired sex
