It oversees the Sanctarian Health Service, which is the single-payer universal public health system of Sanctaria. It was created in 1974 with the foundation of the Divine Republic of Sanctaria.

The Department is led by the Secretary for Health, who is nominated by the Chancellor, confirmed by the Senate, and appointed by the President of Sanctaria. The Secretary is a member of the Cabinet. The current Secretary for Health is Linda Kelly MP.
