Our mandate with respect to chronic diseases consists of offering resources and support services to promote healthy lifestyles. From identifying needs to implementing preventive measures and control strategies, our team provides support and resources to chronic disease workers.
Based on the expressed needs, we create tools and make them available to the workers to support them in their prevention and control actions against various chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and others. Our remote diabetic retinopathy screening service is a fine example.
We continuously provide resource persons with any information related to care and services, from prevention to palliative care. We foster the sharing and acquisition of new knowledge through the organization of forums and exchanges between specialized resources.
Our team also monitors the health status of First Nations populations through data collection and population surveys.
