Best HEALTHCARE Companies in Canada
Approximately 4,953 real businesses classified under Human Health and Social Work Activities in Canada, with officer, shareholder and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Approximately 4,953 real businesses operate in the Human Health and Social Work Activities sector across Canada. Private-equity-backed hospital groups are now common enough that who runs the clinic and who owns the clinic are routinely different answers. Hospitals, dental and medical practices, diagnostic laboratories, and residential-care providers increasingly sit inside multi-site groups with a financial sponsor several layers removed from the building itself — a distinction that matters as much for procurement and regulatory purposes as for ownership research.
32 companies in this sector are indexed on Zavia so far, part of a continually growing dataset.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you
Canada’s universal healthcare system faces significant capacity strain: the national median wait time from GP referral to treatment reached 28.6 weeks in 2025 — down slightly from 30.0 weeks in 2024, but still the second-highest ever recorded and 208% longer than the 9.3-week wait recorded in 1993 — with an estimated 1.4 million procedures being waited on across 10 provinces (Fraser Institute, a private think-tank source whose physician-reported survey methodology is well-established but should be flagged as such rather than presented as a raw government statistical release). Wait times vary sharply by province: Ontario had the shortest total wait (19.2 weeks), followed by BC (32.2 weeks) and Quebec (32.5 weeks), while New Brunswick had the longest (60.9 weeks), followed by PEI (49.7 weeks) and Nova Scotia (49.0 weeks).
Among countries with universal healthcare, Canada has among the lowest numbers of physicians, hospital beds, and MRI machines, ranking last for same/next-day sick-appointment availability (22%) and highest (58%) for patients waiting 2+ months for non-emergency surgery among peer countries. Counterparties verify a healthcare counterparty’s actual current wait-time, capacity, and service-availability conditions directly rather than assume a national average applies to a specific province.
