What is the Public Health Network’s mandate and authority?
The Public Health Network is a mechanism for intergovernmental collaboration and coordination on public health issues — while respecting jurisdictional responsibilities in public health. The principles that guide the Network in fulfilling its mandate are collaboration, responsiveness, and where necessary or appropriate, coordination of public health activities. Through the Network, new partners are able to share knowledge and expertise, collaborate on shared priorities and strengthen the capacity of the system.
