FACTS AND STATS

It is estimated that between 60 and 80 cents of every healthcare dollar in Canada is spent on health human resources (HHR)- and this doesn't include the cost of educating healthcare providers. This means that for the $160 billion that Canada spent on healthcare in 2007, $96-$128 billion went toward HHR.
