As a visitor, you should obtain travellers' health insurance before leaving home, as any health insurance plan you enjoy at home may not cover services received outside your home country. Ask your travel or insurance agent for further information.

If you are taking medicine prescribed by your doctor, bring an adequate supply, as well as a copy of the prescription in case it needs to be renewed by an Ontario doctor.

If you need emergency help or medical service in Ontario, most tourism operators, travel information centres, service centres and police stations can direct you.

On highways and some city roads, look for signs showing a white "H" on a blue square (points the way to major hospitals) or black-on-yellow "OPP" signs (points the way to a police station).

You can use any public phone in Ontario to reach a local emergency dispatcher who can send ambulance, police or fire service. Dial either "911" (where service available), or else the local emergency number indicated on the front of a pay phone. You do not need coins to make these calls at pay phones.
