Health regions of Canada

Health regions, also called health authorities, are a governance model used by Canada's provincial governments to administer and deliver public health care to all Canadian residents.

Health care is designated a provincial responsibility under the separation of powers in Canada's federal system. Most health regions or health authorities are organized along geographic boundaries, however, some are organized along operational lines.

On January 4, 2017, The Government of Saskatchewan announced it will consolidate the province’s 12 health regions into one provincial health authority. The new Provincial Health Authority of Saskatchewan is estimated to be in place by the fall of 2017. [1]
