What factors affect the health of Canadians? Are they living longer? How long can they expect to live without an illness or disability? What's happening in their health care system? How do services compare across the country? What about wait times? How much are they spending on health care? What do they know about the supply and distribution of health professionals? The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) and Statistics Canada are committed to improving their ability to answer these questions. They goal is to work towards improving the health of Canadians and the health care system by providing quality and timely health information. In doing so, they hope to support advances in the development of Canada's health policies, improvements in the health of the population, a strengthened health care system, and better informed debates and decisions about health and health care.
