Science and Research

Health Canada depends on a strong foundation of science and research to fulfill its mission to help Canadians maintain and improve their health.

  • Anticipate and respond to health risks posed by diseases, environmental hazards, food and other threats;
  • Verify that the drugs, food, medical devices and other therapeutic products available to Canadians are safe and effective; and
  • Provide information to Canadians to help them make informed decisions about their health.
