In September 2000, First Ministers in Canada agreed to provide clear accountability reporting to Canadians beginning in September 2002. Health ministers from the provinces, territories and the federal government worked to select and report to the public on a set of comparable health indicators. This report is the result of that work. The results presented in this report show that Albertans have similar health status compared with the Canadian average, and that wait times are also similar to the national average. The report also outlines areas where Alberta outperforms the national average, and some areas where Alberta’s results are below the Canadian average and could be improved.
