Healthcare

Canada and British Columbia's universal healthcare system is the envy of countries worldwide. Our provincially regulated medical system ensures facilities meet the highest standards and people receive the best possible care. In Greater Victoria, the availability of medical care is bolstered by the ratio of 679 people per general practitioner, compared to the provincial average of 911 people per GP. Including all health practitioners, Greater Victoria has 230 people per practitioner, lower than the provincial ratio of 324 people per practitioner. More health professionals provide the population with easier access to quality care, and the universal health care system means everyone receives the care they need to stay healthy.
