Health Canada. The Quarantine and Migration Health Program (QMHP) implements the Canadian Quarantine Act and Regulations, and the World Health Organization's (WHO) International Health Regulations.

To safeguard the health of Canadians, QMHP coordinates Canada's response to outbreaks of international disease. QMHP can implement contingency plans and other emergency measures developed with public and private sector partners.

Afin de sauvegarder la santé des Canadiens, le PQSM coordonne les interventions du Canada lors de flambées de maladies internationales.
