Management and provision of medical services is the responsibility of each individual province or territory. Provinces or territories plan, finance and evaluate the provision of hospital care, the services of general practitioners and other specialists, with certain medicines. 

An interesting fact that In Canada there is no "public medicine" system, where doctors work directly on the government structure. Most doctors have their own private practice.The life expectancy of Canadians is 78.6 years (81.4 years for women and 75.8 years for men), which is one of the highest rates among developed countries.
