Health Resources: Population-to-physician Ratios, 1996

Major cities are associated with comparatively few people per physician; every province has one or more census divisions in which the ratio is less than or equal to 550:1. None of the territories has a ratio this low. At the same time, each province has a significant number of areas with ratios higher than 550:1 and these tend to be located in the more rural and/or northern areas.
