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
Although we at PodcastDX reside in the USA, due to recent administration changes we do not feel comfortable listing them as a resource at this time.
