Who looks after the H1N1 outbreaks in remote or isolated communities?
The Government of Canada is working closely with the provinces and territories, First Nations and Inuit leadership and other organizations to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated response to public health emergencies. In preparation for the Fall flu season, we have formed a Task Group to identify any limitations to national guidelines and issues related to the H1N1 response for remote and isolated communities. Membership includes provinces and territories, and First Nations and Inuit health representatives. The Remote and Isolated Communities Task Group has 25 members from across the country.
