Healthcare in Canada is publicly funded and subsidized by tax dollars. Meaning every tax-paying citizen is contributing to the healthcare of all people who utilize available services, regardless of their lifestyle, and whether they care about their bodies or have respect for others.

Creating a moral dilemma for nurses and healthcare professionals, who have to put their own feelings aside to treat the patient with respect and dignity.

Case Study: 3M HEALTH CARE Executive Summary To: Kevin Higgins, Vice president of 3M Health Care Markets From: Viola Hoo, summer intern student – Richard Ivey School of Business Subject: Method of Distributing Products to Canadian Hospitals Issue: By analysing the health care division’s logistics system, I would like to propose the following as our new problem Statement for existing method of distributing products to Canadian hospitals. “ 3M HEALTH CARE must seek a best way to optimize the supply chain to gain the maximum net profit by changes the existing method of distributing products to Canadian hospitals.

Private Sector, The Cause for Deterioration of Canadian Healthcare The healthcare system in Canada clearly plays a very prominent role in the lives of Canadians.

Public healthcare is financed through the government to provide medically necessary healthcare needs while private healthcare is paid for through out-of-pocket expenses by individuals and is outside of government funding (para. 4).
