Canadian citizens and permanent residents moving to Saskatchewan from other provinces or territories will now be able to apply online for a Saskatchewan Health Services Card.
"Our ministry is committed to ensuring a customer focused approach that improves the timeliness, efficiency and quality of care," Health Minister Don McMorris said.
The online application is a convenient way to register for a health card and is designed to guide the applicant through the registration process. New residents that choose to complete their application online will receive immediate feedback that the application has been successfully submitted.
Saskatchewan is the first province in Canada to implement an integrated online health card application service.
The health card online application can be accessed through the Ministry of Health website at www.health.gov.sk.ca.
