Our hospital and medical services are excellent, but a hospital stay can be extremely costly. Your present health insurance plan may not extend coverage for services received outside your resident province's borders, leaving you with no or inadequate health insurance coverage while in Nova Scotia. It is recommended you obtain travel health insurance before leaving home.
Emergency Number - 911
Nova Scotia is served province-wide by a 911 emergency reporting service. If you are faced with an emergency, you can call 911 free of charge on cellular or pay phones. When on the road, always be mindful of where you are so that you can provide the most accurate information possible when reporting an emergency. Please remember that 911 is to be used only in an emergency.
