The descriptive research design was adopted for the study. The sample consisted of two thousand and four hundred respondents who were selected from both countries (Nigeria and Canada) using simple random, purposive and systematic random techniques. A new questionnaire entitled “Expectations of Patients towards Healthcare Questionnaire” (EPHQ) was developed and used in the studyto address the research questions and hypotheses. The validity of the scale was achieved through team of experts and the split half reliability of the instrument was .67. The data collected was analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, facto analysis t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).
