With this change in structure, what is Health Canadas role?
A.3 The Agency will be focussed on emergency preparedness and response, infectious and chronic disease prevention and control, and injury prevention and promoting good health, supported by a collaborative, pan-Canadian network. Health Canada continues to provide national leadership to develop health policy and enforce health regulations and is also responsible for the administration of the Canada Health Act. In the areas of disease prevention and healthy living, Health Canada will work closely with the Public Health Agency to adapt these programs to the needs of First Nations and Inuit communities as part of its responsibility to ensure that health services are available and accessible to them.
