  • “Global Health Research”?
    32 International Health: Feature Article Volume 3 No. 1, 2006 INTERNATIONAL HEALTH: FEATURE ARTICLE What is Canada Doing About “Global Health Research”? Vic Neufeld, MD, FRCPC ABSTRACT The worldwide investment in health research is currently about US$100 billion. Of this amount, less than 10% is targeted on the problems of societies that bear 90% of the global burden of illness. This article addresses this unac- ceptable situation in three ways: • by describing the global problem in more detail, including what is currently being done about it; • by summarizing Canada’s contribution to resolving the problem, both through federal government agencies, and through a new non-government organization: the Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research (CCGHR); • by suggesting what Canadian university students might consider doing about it. This includes getting informed, getting involved, and considering “global health” as one component of their future careers. The article concludes with the conviction that this is a remarkable moment for Canadians to play a more active role in global health—and indeed in global citizenship more broadly. WHAT IS CANADA DOING ABOUT “GLOBAL about the fact that research efforts to address this burden HEALTH RESEARCH”? appeared to be too small and ineffective. A major 2-year study was undertaken by the Independent International Commission n 2002, the worldwide investment in health research was on Health Research for Development (CHRD).

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE: June 14, 2005 Health care leaders create Canada’s first national health advisory body The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences will give Government and the public comprehensive expertise and advice on health issues EDMONTON - When the President of the United States wants advice on a public health issue, he calls the United States’ National Academies. When the Prime Minister of Great Britain wants to seek similar counsel, he usually turns to the Royal Society of Britain. But when the Prime Minister of Canada wants similar advice, who does he call? Well, that’s not always entirely clear, given the more narrowly defined mandates of many Canadian organizations. Now, however, owing to a recent initiative by a group of leading health care leaders and researchers, the Prime Minister will be able to call the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS), recently created to: • Develop informed, strategic assessments on urgent health issues; • Inform public policy on these issues; • Enhance Canada’s readiness to deal with global health issues; and, • Provide a recognized and authoritative Canadian health science voice internationally. According to one of the Academy’s key organizers, the establishment of the Academy is long over due—and all the more pressing given the potential global health threats to Canadians, most recently exemplified by the SARS threat. “Ask Canadians what they care about most, and they answer unequivocally: ‘health,’” explains University of Alberta Professor of Medicine Paul Armstrong, CAHS’s first president. “It makes sense, therefore, that Canada should have an organization that government—and Canadians—can turn to for sound, impartial advice and research on pressing health issues.” The organization will also have an international role to play, representing Canada’s interests abroad and working closely with other nations’ parallel agencies.

  • Prospectus for a Major Assessment: the Return on Investments in Health Research
    Prospectus for a Major Assessment: The Return on Investments in Health Research: Defining the Best Metrics Prepared by the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences May 2007 WO The Return on Investments in Canadian Health Research – The Situation Investments in health research have increased significantly across Canada over the past decade. Naturally, and justifiably, with these greater investments come increased expectations. In addition, the widening diversity of stakeholders engaged in and/or supporting health research has led to a broader range of anticipated outcomes. These expectations include: 1] better health; 2] greater life expectancy; 3] translation of research findings into improvements in quality of life; 4] informed public policy on health related issues across the full spectrum of government and private sector activity; 5] new commercial opportunities within and beyond Canadian borders; 6] increased attraction of the next generation to pursue careers in health research and the health sector; 7] a better ‘state of readiness” for the unexpected threats to health that inevitably develop in the contemporary world. In parallel with these expectations, a confluence of factors has placed intense focus on understanding what return our society receives for the investments made in health research. Some of these include: • lack of public understanding of the value of research and its applicability to current issues in health care at a time of unsurpassed concern about accessible, affordable, high quality health care in a publicly funded

Martin Lawrence Friedland – A biographical sketch Note: Reference should also be made to Friedland’s curriculum vitae and the address on his receiving the Molson Prize in 1995, both of which are appended to the end of the accompanying finding aid. Martin Friedland was born in Toronto in 1932. He was educated at the University of Toronto, in commerce and finance (BCom 1955) and law (LLB 1958), where he was the gold medallist in his graduating year. He continued his academic training at Cambridge University, from which he received his PhD in 1967. Dr. Friedland’s career has embraced several areas where he has utilized his knowledge of commerce and finance as well as of law. He has been a university professor and administrator, a shaper of public policy in Canada through his involvement with provincial and federal commissions, committees and task forces, and is an author of international standing. Dr. Friedland was called to the Ontario Bar in 1960. His contribution to the formation of public policy in Canada began with his earliest research, a study of gambling in Ontario (1961).
