Description

The 10-Year Plan to Strengthen Health Care is an agreement developed in 2004 between all provinces, territories and the federal government to ensure that Canadians have access to essential health care services when they need it. While the agreement is focused on five key areas of access (cancer, heart, diagnostic imaging, joint replacement and sight restoration), it also covers strategic investments in a number of areas that support improved access to health services, such as home care, prescription drugs, health promotion and disease prevention, primary health care, and health professions. This report shows the progress Alberta has made in implementing key strategies to date.
