Personally, I went to a hospital in Canada after a hiking accident, and I received excellent care. The hospital was modern, clean, and everyone was very attentive. I've heard there's a bit of a waiting list for elective surgery (non-life threatening stuff), but the wait times I read about weren't too bad.
