The administration and delivery of health care services in Canada is the responsibility of:

• A. The Federal Government
• B. Municipalities
• C. Each Province and Territory
• D. Private Sector Providers

Answer: (C)

In Canada, health care is organized and delivered primarily at the provincial and territorial level. The constitution assigns responsibility for most insured health services to the provinces and territories, which design, administer, and fund hospital and physician services within their borders. The federal government supports this system by providing funding and setting national standards through the Canada Health Act, but it does not run the day-to-day care. Municipalities may handle local public health programs, but they do not oversee the core administration of insured health services. Private providers deliver care within the publicly funded framework, but the responsibility for administration and delivery rests with each province or territory.
