I recently got approved for a work permit for the International Experience Canada application.

My question is, for the question in the application that states:

Do you have any physical or mental disorder that would require social and/or health services, other than medication, during a stay in Canada?

I initially entered no as I assumed this was referring to disabilities. I did have a kidney transplant in June 2008 and take medication for hypertension as well so I would need to do checks with I assume the private health insurance I obtain and get the medication needed. I was wondering if this was something that had to be inputted? I guess my options are to play it safe and resubmit an application or wait for a reply as I did contact their department and see what they say.

Yeah - you definitely should have answered "yes" given the transplant. You're getting towards the range of end of life for the transplant as well. So all the more reason.

I don't kow if you should withdraw and resubmit or wait for a reply.
