This article compares the healthcare delivery systems of two countries, Pakistan and Canada, with the aim of identifying similarities and differences and making recommendations for improvement. The study was conducted using a comparative approach, examining the healthcare systems' structures, policies, processes, and outcomes. The findings suggest that while both countries have strengths and weaknesses in their healthcare delivery systems, Canada's system is more comprehensive, with a higher level of access, quality, and equity. The study highlights the need for Pakistan to improve its healthcare system by increasing the availability of resources, strengthening the healthcare infrastructure, and ensuring the quality of care.
