Canada has a number of very active institutions involved in global health. They reach around the world and forge effective partnerships to improve the lives of people living in low resource settings. Two of them are internationally recognized for their innovations in investing in the development and scaling up of groundbreaking solutions to address some of the world’s most pressing global health challenges. Thousands of projects are supported that build local capacity in a manner that enables people to live healthier lives in a sustainable environment.
