Operation Health Protection

Operation Health Protection is a three-year Action Plan to revitalize our public health system by preventing threats to our health and promoting a healthy Ontario. The Plan sets out specific actions and the results that Ontarians can expect within this timeframe. Acting on recommendations put forth in reports by the National Advisory Committee on SARS and Public Health chaired by Dr. David Naylor, the Expert Panel on SARS and Infectious Disease Control chaired by Dr. David Walker, and the first Interim Report of Mr. Justice Archie Campbell, Operation Health Protection calls on the Ministry, the Chief Medical Officer of Health, municipalities, health providers and Public Health Units to work together to rebuild Ontario's public health system.

The Action Plan includes six strategic priorities :

Creation of a Health Protection and Promotion Agency
Public Health Renewal
Health Emergency Management
Infection Control and Communicable Disease Capacity
Health Human Resources
Infrastructure for Health System Preparedness
