The purposes of this Act are to protect and promote the overall health and wellbeing of people in Nunavut by (a) taking public health measures, including measures relating to health promotion, health protection, population health assessment, public health surveillance, disease and injury prevention, and public health emergency preparedness and response; and (b) promoting policies, processes, activities and behaviours that enable Nunavummiut to increase their control over and improve their health. The Public Health Act establishes measures relating to health protection and promotion, population health assessment, public health surveillance, disease and injury prevention, and public health emergency preparedness and response. The Act provides for the requirements and for the duties and powers of the Minister, the Chief Public Health Officer, and other officers tasked with protecting the health of all Nunavummiut.
