Health care

In Québec, choosing whether to see a doctor in a medical clinic or in a hospital depends on the severity of your medical condition. If you, or someone you know, need immediate medical care, go to the nearest hospital emergency room. If your condition does not require immediate attention, it is recommended to visit a medical clinic or the medical clinic of your local CLSC (local community service centers).

If you, or someone you know, need immediate medical care, go to the nearest hospital emergency room. If you cannot move the person, call emergency number 911. An ambulance will be sent.
