| Health Registration and Vital
Statistics
Health Registration
registers new residents of the province for coverage
and maintains the registry of all residents who are
eligible for benefits.
The branch
also issues a health services card to individuals once
you are approved for benefits. The card is a valuable
personal identification document and is required for
presentation when you need health services.
