Health Care
Compared to other Canadian provinces, Alberta has the highest
age/gender adjusted per capita spending on government health
expenditures, funding more health services than required under the
Canada Health Care Act.
Alberta's health system directly employs over 100,000 people which
serves a population of over four million.
Alberta has the lowest 30-day hospital mortality rate for both strokes and
heart attacks in Canada. The University of Alberta Hospital has performed
the most heart, lung and heart/lung combined transplants in Canada, and
was the first to offer mechanical hearts to both adults and children.
The province provides 24-hour access to stroke care at 28 centres and
prevention clinics around Alberta, resulting in 23 per cent fewer
emergency/hospital visits and 25 per cent fewer in-hospital deaths from
strokes since 2005.
