Canada's healthcare system is supported by a vast network of hospitals, with 1,087 facilities spread across the country as of 2024. Ontario leads the way with 319 hospitals, reflecting its status as the most populous province. This extensive infrastructure plays a crucial role in delivering healthcare services to Canadians, contributing to the nation's commitment to universal health coverage. Hospital infrastructure and expenditure The density of hospital beds has been decreasing over time. In 1980, there were 6.75 hospital beds per thousand inhabitants, but by 2022, this figure had dropped to 2.53 beds per thousand population. Despite this reduction, healthcare expenditures remain significant, with hospitals accounting for 96 billion Canadian dollars in 2024. Physicians are also expected to account for nearly 50 billion Canadian dollars in health expenditures in the same year. Patient care and common procedures The average length of hospital stay in Canada has remained relatively stable in recent years, standing at 7.3 days in the fiscal year 2023 to 2024. This figure has fluctuated only slightly since 2010, with the shortest average stay recorded in 2017/18 at 6.8 days. In terms of procedures, caesarean section deliveries are the most common inpatient surgery, with 110,659 performed in 2023/24. This aligns with childbirth being the primary reason for hospital stays in Canada. Knee and hip replacements follow as the second and third most frequent inpatient surgeries, respectively, indicating a significant demand for orthopedic care among the Canadian population.
