The Public Health Agency of Canada is a federal government organization dedicated to improving the health of Canadians by preventing disease and injuries, promoting physical and mental well-being, and providing information to support informed health decisions. It operates in partnership with other organizations and emphasizes scientific excellence, aiming to provide national leadership in responding to public health threats. Its work spans health promotion, disease prevention, and timely public health information across the country. The agency functions within Canada's government administration and serves a broad public-health mission across the nation. A notable development in 2026 was the launch of the Vaccine Impact Assistance Program, announced in March to support vaccine-related efforts.
