The province announced on Thursday that it has signed a contract with Foundever to provide virtual health-care services in New Brunswick.

The contract is a two-year term with an option to renew and an annual budget of $12.9 million. It’s “based on 250,000 services per year and is only paid as services are delivered,” the release said.
