The community health centres are not merely community medical centres as the services provided are more extensive. The present CHCS is still complex and confusing, especially at the regional level. While community health centres are slowly developing, the existing health services delivery structure pervades. The Canadian Population At the centre of the diagram, the second component of the CHCS, the people of Canada.
