Bureau of Women's Health and Gender Analysis
The Bureau of Women's Health and Gender Analysis (formerly the Women's Health Bureau) was established in 1993, enhancing Health Canada's capacity to promote equitable health outcomes for women and men, boys and girls in Canada.
The Bureau of Women's Health and Gender Analysis is the focal point for women's health within the federal government. It provides policy advice and leads initiatives to advance women's health and to increase our understanding of how sex and gender affect health over the lifespan. It builds departmental capacity by coordinating the implementation of gender-based analysis and reports on the development of gender-sensitive legislation, policies and programs at Health Canada. The Bureau, through the Centres of Excellence for Women's Health, Working Groups and the Canadian Women's Health Network, ensures policy relevant research and information dissemination. The Bureau maintains ongoing relationships with provinces and territories, major women's organizations, health researchers, and others to promote women's and men's active involvement in their own health and well-being.
The Bureau of Women's Health and Gender Analysis leads the following Health Canada initiatives:
