Global Infectious Disease and Canada's Role: What Can Be Done?

John Eyles and Nicole Consitt

Canadian Public Policy, 2006, vol. 32, issue 3, 301-316

Abstract: Beginning by establishing the scale of the global burden of infectious diseases, this paper examines why Canada should intervene in this issue, the main incentives being self-interest, health as a human right, economic investment and productivity requirements, and security implications. It then goes on to outline several ways forward for Canadian action such as: donor and government coordination, effective and efficient use of aid, involvement of the private sector, and use of non-aid instruments. It ends by advocating that Canada can do more than it presently does to combat this burden.
