Does the Agency parallel the roles and responsibilities of the U.S. Centres for Disease Control (CDCs)?
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is very similar to the U.S. government’s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Both organizations serve as clear focal points for leadership and accountability on national public health matters and address similar public health concerns. PHAC collaborates with the CDC as well as with similar organizations around the world to improve not only the public health of people living in Canada, but also that of people around the world.
