1.9: Global Public Health

Strengthen the government’s policy coherence related to global public health

Other Information:

Our priorities on addressing public health disparity and influencing the determinants of health cannot be restricted to Canada alone. Global public health is in Canada’s interest. A reduced global disease burden strengthens global health security and protects Canadians against many current and emerging public health threats. In keeping with this interest, the Agency will work to strengthen the government’s policy coherence related to global public health and consider its impact on other areas, such as migration health. This work will involve international leadership and participation in strategic international initiatives to promote approaches to addressing the determinants of health and to build capacity in global public health systems.
