Health

  • The Health care system in Manitoba is administered by Manitoba Health and Healthy Living, a department of the provincial government.  Each region in the province has a regional health authority that maintains the health care system in that area. There are eleven regional health authorities throughout the province.  The south west region is served by the Assiniboine Regional Health Authority. Visit their website to find out more about their services and job opportunities.
  • Most health care services in Manitoba are free of charge.  In order to receive these services you must apply for a Manitoba Health Card.  This card should be kept with you at all times.  You will present this card if you or a family member requires medical assistance of any kind.  The following link will provide you with more information on obtaining a Manitoba Health Card.
  • The province offers many medical services to its residents. Emergency, Doctors, and a provincial drug program are only a few. 
  • To aid in the cost of prescription drugs, residents of Manitoba may qualify for the Pharmacare Program.  This is a drug benefit program that is available for Manitobans that may offset the cost of prescription drugs.
