The Ministry of Health has a mandate to support Saskatchewan residents in achieving their best possible health and well-being. Saskatchewan Health establishes policy direction, sets and monitors standards, provides funding, supports regional health authorities, and ensures the provision of essential and appropriate services.

Saskatchewan Health is a dedicated workforce of over 600 employees who provide direct services, such as processing applications, issuing health cards, reimbursing approved expenses, and providing information about health care programs in the province.

The Ministry also works closely with our many partners in the health sector to ensure the delivery of high quality services. We provide leadership in defining and implementing a vision for health and healthy living, and a framework to put in place resources and accountability so that Saskatchewan residents have access to necessary services.
