GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The members of the Organizations for Health Action are committed to sustaining and enhancing the health of Canadians, and in the continuous improvement of fair, equitable, efficient and effective health services and system(s). As active participants in the development and implementation of our health system(s) we commit to these guiding principles for health and health care in Canada.
-
All Canadians value health and health care.

Health is broader than the provision of health care, embracing health promotion, disease prevention and economic and social policy underlying determinants of health and healthy communities.
-
Access to quality health care, irrespective of ability-to-pay, is a basic Canadian value.
-
Sustaining the national character of health services requires adherence to a common set of principles.
-
Finite public resources are available to support the health of Canadians and fund a national health insurance system.
