Canadian primary healthcare policy

From the late 1990s to the present, major pan-Canadian and provincial/territorial reviews have placed growing focus on primary healthcare (PHC) within the larger scheme of health system integration and reform. The major reform push represented by accords and transition funds is notable for the scale of PHC-related policy support and investment. It accentuates the highly collaborative process by which Canadian federal, provincial and territorial (F/P/T) governments worked together and agreed to the underlying PHC intents and parameters to fund, launch and evaluate initiatives.
