Within each of the 11 Subject-areas, information is further organized by Themes, Topics and Sub-topics.
We have provided some helpful tips below to make your trip around the new Health Canada easier:
- Within a Subject, the Themes are organized along the left-hand
side of the page.
- Once in a Theme, the navigation for Topics and Sub-topics
moves over to the right-side margin of the Web page. This is
necessary to ensure that you have uninterrupted access to the
navigation
throughout the entire site.

will be.

find it again the next time you need that information.
