The Manitoba government has launched a digital health card, allowing residents to apply for and access their health card directly on their mobile devices.
Premier Wab Kinew, Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara, and Innovation and New Technology Minister Mike MorozMediNav, an online appointment-booking system introduced in 2025 that allows users to find and book appointments at participating clinics across the province. Together, the tools allow Manitobans to carry their health card and book appointments from a mobile device.
The digital health card is accessed through the MB Wallet, which is available free through the Apple App Store and Google Play. The app allows offline access to stored credentials, and users control when their information is shared.
“The MB Wallet app makes health care more mobile,” Moroz said. “It is convenient, secure and easy to use.”
The government said the modernization also supports upcoming patient safety legislation aimed at improving efficiency and strengthening patient confidence within the health system.
