The Santis—Nanos Canadian Health Perspective

The inaugural survey is the first in a series looking at Canadians' experience in health care, their priorities, and desire for improvement and innovation. For faster access and better patient outcomes, the data shows that Canadians are ready to embrace real change.

Explore the Findings
91%

of Canadians agree it is important for the system to change now, a view held across all demographics and geographical regions.

70%

report feeling "worried" or "frustrated" by the current state of care.

55%

report that the health care system is moving in the wrong direction.

26%

cite long waits as the defining failure of the system, cited more often than any other concern.

Across Canada, people are working to improve health care. Innovators are building better systems. Advocates are pushing for improved access. Leaders are driving change that matters. 

Here, we don’t just consult on health care – we partner with those bold enough to transform it. We accelerate health system innovation, guide corporate strategy, and advance advocacy across Canada’s health and life science sectors because we believe in the same things our clients do: better outcomes, better access, and better health for all of us.  

We’ve built an unstoppable team coast-to-coast with diverse experience in management consulting, communications, and government affairs. 

We bring the right minds together to solve complex problems with discipline, care, and unwavering focus on the human impact of every decision we make. 

We understand the policies, politics, and players better than anyone.

We know Canada’s health care landscape inside and out, because we’ve helped shape it.

This is how we help clients lead, not just respond. How we turn ideas into action, action into impact, and impact into measurable change for the people who depend on the health care system we all share.

It’s a mission we’re proud to be part of.
