Book Overview

Qu?bec's distinctive approach to health and social policy is predicated on its unique social history in Canada, which has allowed it to spearhead many innovations within the Canadian health care landscape, inspiring not only other provinces but also the federal government.

It also offers commentary on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Qu?bec's health care system throughout.

Presenting foundational health services concepts in relation to Qu?bec, along with the complementing socio-historical approach adopted to describe Qu?bec's unique health care system, the book equips readers with invaluable insights and tools to navigate the complexities of ongoing health care policy challenges and to envision possible solutions forward for Qu?bec's health care system.
