The Public Health Agencies are created to deliver on the Government's commitment to help protect the health and safety of all people and communities in whatever country they live in.
For example: Canada's activities focus on:
- promoting health, well-being and equity
- protecting against threats to public health
- preventing and reducing diseases and injury
Health Canada is responsible for helping Canadians maintain and improve their health. It ensures that high-quality health services are accessible, and works to reduce health risks.
The UK supports ministers in leading the nation’s health and social care to help people live more independent, healthier lives for longer.
They are responsible for:
- supporting and advising their ministers: they help them shape and deliver policy that delivers the government’s objectives
- setting direction: they anticipate the future and lead debate ensuring they protect and improve global and domestic health
- accountability: they make sure the department and their arm’s length bodies deliver on their agreed plans and commitments
- acting as guardians of the health and care framework: they make sure the legislative, financial, administrative and policy frameworks are fit for purpose and work together
- troubleshooting: in the last resort, the public and Parliament expect them to take the action needed to resolve crucial and complex issues

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
