Health care needs in the NWT are served by the Stanton Territorial Health Authority.

All permanent NWT residents must apply for health care coverage and should register to get an NWT Health Care Card. You will want to apply as soon as you arrive to the NWT. For information and downloadable application forms: www.hss.gov.nt.ca/en/services/nwt-health-care-plan

If you moved to the NWT from elsewhere in Canada, you’ll become eligible for the NWT Health Care Plan on the first day of the third month immediately following the month you became a resident of the NWT. For example, if you arrive on July 4th, you will become eligible on October 1st.
