TORONTO—Ontario is the latest Canadian province that is turning to private healthcare options in a bid to fix growing problems with the publicly funded healthcare system.
Canada’s most-populous province this past week outlined a plan to allow more patients to go to private treatment centers for cataract and joint-replacement surgeries as well as for services such as MRIs or CT scans. The province will invest more than 18 million Canadian dollars, equivalent to $13.4 million, in the private facilities to increase their capacity.
