Introduction to the Canterbury Health System

One Health System

Health services in Canterbury are in a steady state of transformation so they can meet the burgeoning demands of a growing and ageing population.

Therefore planning and service development in Canterbury takes into account the whole health system, including primary care, specialist services, hospital services, community and disability support services, and the types and numbers of health professionals we'll need to make the system work now, and in ten years time.
