Every country above is graded against this published scale — the same 1–5 rubric for assisted dying organizations, top to bottom. How we score →
- 3+ well-established organizations with extensive international experience (5+ years operation, 100+ international cases annually) - Full transparency in operations, pricing, procedures, and outcomes with public reporting - Professional medical staff with clear qualifications and regulatory oversight - Comprehensive support services for international patients (language support, accommodation, family services) - Clear, reasonable pricing with transparent fee structures (typically under $15,000 USD total) - Multiple positive reviews and recognition from international assisted dying advocacy groups - No significant scandals, regulatory violations, or unresolved complaints in past 3 years - Waiting times under 3 months for international patients
- 2-3 established organizations with good international capacity (3+ years operation, 50+ international cases annually) - Generally transparent operations with most information publicly available - Qualified medical staff with appropriate oversight, minor gaps in transparency acceptable - Good support services for international patients with most accommodation needs met - Reasonable pricing with mostly transparent fee structures (typically under $20,000 USD total) - Generally positive reputation with minimal controversy - No major scandals or regulatory violations in past 2 years - Waiting times 3-6 months for international patients
- 1-2 organizations with some international experience (2+ years operation, 25+ international cases annually) - Moderate transparency with some key information available publicly - Basic medical staff qualifications with some regulatory oversight - Limited but adequate support services for international patients - Pricing information available but may lack complete transparency (typically under $30,000 USD total) - Mixed reputation with some minor controversies or concerns - No recent major regulatory violations but possibly some historical issues - Waiting times 6-12 months for international patients
- 1 organization with minimal international experience or very new operations (under 2 years) - Limited transparency with significant information gaps - Questionable staff qualifications or regulatory oversight - Minimal support services for international patients, language barriers common - Unclear or potentially excessive pricing (over $30,000 USD total) - Concerning reputation with documented problems or complaints - Some regulatory concerns or unresolved complaints - Waiting times over 12 months or highly unpredictable
- No established organizations providing assisted dying services to international patients - Complete lack of transparency or professionalism in any existing services - No qualified medical oversight or regulatory compliance - No support infrastructure for international patients - Prohibitive costs or complete lack of pricing transparency - Documented scandals, fraud, or serious regulatory violations - Active government investigations or legal challenges to operations - Services effectively unavailable due to waiting times, costs, or other barriers
