Introducing the Government of Canada’s STBBI Action Plan

Webinar: The Government of Canada’s STBBI Action Plan (2024-2030)

Thursday, May 23rd 2024
10-11 AM Pacific time

The Government of Canada recently released its renewed federal Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections (STBBI) Action Plan (2024-2030). The Action Plan outlines 16 priorities, and 49 actions from 9 federal departments responsible for its implementation. It aims to accelerate prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, and help mitigate the health impacts of STBBI by 2030. This webinar will provide an overview of the STBBI policy context, the Action Plan renewal process, and key aspects of the new plan. The webinar will also present an epidemiological overview of STBBI in Canada and highlight two case studies to illustrate how the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) translates federal priorities into funding, events, and initiatives.
