Réseautage Santé en français [Francophone Health Networks]
$1,900,000
Led by Société Santé en français (SSF) [Francophone Health Society]., Résautage Santé en français facilitates the implementation of health networks in each province and territory to improve access to French-language primary health care services.
Partners:
Health institution managers, health professionals, community representatives, representatives of educational institutions, and government officials.
Objectives:
To create networks that act as forums for joint action by partners interested in increasing access to health services in French, to promote service integration and facilitate community empowerment.
Activities:
The initiative had two distinct but complementary levels of networks: the provincial/territorial level and the national level. The national network acts as the administrative body responsible for co-ordinating all provincial and territorial networking initiatives, and ensures information is exchanged among all provincial and territorial networks. The national network also provides linkage to the Consultative Committee for French-Speaking Minority Communities.
Expected Results:
- Promotion of community empowerment;
- Enhanced use of existing resources;
- Improved services delivered to French-speaking minority communities; and
- Increased capacity to offer health services in French.
