We are committed to improving health, including but not limited to the treatment and prevention of injury and disease. We regard health as both a desirable state as well as a fundamental resource Integrated Resource Plan Faculty of Health for achieving social, economic, cultural and development outcomes. It includes physical, emotional, and cognitive dimensions. We understand that health is determined and influenced by a complex interaction of biological, genetic, social, economic, cultural, political developmental behavioural and environmental factors which may vary across the lifespan, populations, and other contexts.

We understand that health care on its own cannot protect, restore, and improve health. Our transformative approach to health and wellness recognizes the importance of high-quality research in a wide variety of stages, methods, and approaches designed to improve health care,health equity, and the broader determinants of health.
