1.  The Health Gateway is a provincial service which provides British Columbians with access to information, regardless of where they received care or services.  My Health Portal and other regional portals provide access to information within the regional systems. We are collaborating with our health sector partners to ensure we are providing complementary services.

2.  The Health Gateway is updated weekly with new features and information. We prioritize our enhancements based on your feedback, and we encourage you to provide suggestions by e-mailing [email protected].
 
3.  For people managing others' healthcare and needing access to records:  Currently, only parents or guardians of children 11 years or younger can access their children’s COVID-19 test results. We are working to enable family and caregiver access in the future.
