Abstract: The province of Saskatchewan is the oldest and most unique example of providing universal medicare programs in North America. These programs offer full coverage for every resident, and hence strongly influence the treatment of kidney patients requiring dialysis and transplant. The University Hospital at Saskatoon, however, is the only center in the province with a transplant program. An attempt has been made here to determine if there are geographical variations in the transplant program in terms of such factors as distance, location, occupation, age and sex of the patients and the nature of the donors.
