Activity Highlights
Health Canada depends on research and scientific activities to respond effectively to the health issues affecting Canadians. In order to do this, we rely on the work of scientists in a wide range of fields, including the natural and life sciences and social sciences.
Science helps us to develop policy, define regulations, evaluate products and gather information on health related issues. It plays a major role in activities ranging from the inspection of consumer products and the regulation of foods, to monitoring diseases and developing community health programs.
