Partnerships
Health Canada scientists and researchers perform a lot of different science activities to help the department make important decisions. However, with so many areas of responsibility, we can't do all the science ourselves.
Our scientists and researchers work with networks of regional, national and international experts to share knowledge and resources. By working in partnership, we are able to stay up-to-date with scientific developments and can find creative new ways to deal with important health issues.
 Partners may include other government departments and agencies, as well as universities, non-governmental organizations or the private sector. We also work with international organizations such as the World Health Organization on global issues like safe blood supply, SARS and West Nile virus.
