To carry out the necessary research, Health Canada relies on its connections to a wide
variety of institutions located both inside Canada and throughout the world. Together with other
government agencies, we work to find original solutions to pressing scientific issues and
difficulties. The Science and Technology Strategy of Health Canada lays forth a comprehensive
strategy for the Department's scientific planning, priority-setting, and administrative operations. Their work will be carried out in collaboration with scientific partners, who include the federal science-based ministries and agencies, Health Portfolio, international organizations, governments of Canada, and stakeholders. The Strategy assists in strategically positioning healthcare and carrying out assigned work with these partners. The use of scientific knowledge is absolutely required in order to recognize developing health problems, decrease the hazards posed by commodities, toxins, medications, cigarettes, and the environment, and make the most of the possibilities that are presented to Canadians (Carter et al., 2010). The cutting-edge work being done by Canada Health guarantees that choices that have an effect on the health of Canadians are backed by the most reliable data that is currently available. All of the laws, rules, programs, and policies that they work on improving are improved as a direct result of their activities.
The researcher makes a substantial contribution to the healthcare system in Canada by the
conduct of evidence-based research that has the potential to assist decision-makers, healthcare
practitioners, and the general public in making informed decisions. The researcher is accountable
for doing both scientifically and ethically rigorous research that is in line with the needs of the
healthcare system in Canada. The healthcare system in Canada is dynamic and challenging to
understand, and constantly evolving (Taghrir, Akbarialiabad & Marzaleh, 2020). The researcher must be adaptable and aware of their surroundings to keep up with these developments. In addition, the researcher has to effectively connect with a range of different groups, such as those who make decisions for the government, those in the medical community, and the general public. By providing evidence-based research on optimal practices and highlighting areas that require more significant inquiry, the researcher may help improve treatment quality and health outcomes. Patients who get care at hospitals specializing in research seem to have better overall health results (Asnake, 2015). This is because a hospital that is actively engaged in research may give a wider variety of treatment options and more opportunities to participate in clinical trials (Young, 2015). Patients gain from the forward-thinking, knowledge-seeking mentality of research institutions. In addition, participants in clinical trials often spend a greater amount of time with clinical specialists. As a direct consequence, problems have a higher probability of being found earlier. People who take part in research may get a better understanding of both their condition and the therapeutic options available to them (Asnake, 2015). The National Institute of Health Research conducted a poll in 2012 and found that 82% of the public feels that the National Health Service should give opportunities for participation in healthcare research. Only 7% of respondents indicated they would never engage in a clinical trial (Young, 2015). Therefore, a researcher is one of the most important persons in the Canadian Health system.
In conclusion, critical decisions in the Canada Health System are based on scientific and
empirical data. Scientific support offers the knowledge needed to design the department's rules, policies, and programs and provide services and information. Health Canada must have a solid scientific basis to address emerging concerns and capitalize on opportunities quickly. As a result of the diversity of the objectives pursued by Health Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research is reliant on the knowledge and experience of subject matter experts when carrying out various types of research. These researchers do the associated scientific work, such as scientific research and development, and the department requires to address both current and emerging health risks.
