Public Health

The province's health regions work closely with Saskatchewan Health to maintain a system for identifying and dealing with public health risks.

Saskatchewan Health is responsible for ensuring there is a combination of legislation, regulations, programs, services, education and awareness about impediments to good health. In this way, we help maintain healthy people in healthy communities.
