ARCHIVED: Appendix 1: Learning from SARS: Renewal of public health in Canada – Interviews and submissions
As part of the Committee's fact finding phase, it conducted interviews with front-line health care providers and administrators, as well as personnel from various organizations and levels of government involved in managing the SARS outbreak. The Committee also put out a call for submissions to health care associations, non-governmental organizations, and relevant industry stakeholders. The call for submissions offered these groups an opportunity to relay their experiences with SARS, the lessons they learned from the outbreak, and their views on how the public health system needs to be improved.
The following are lists of individuals that were interviewed and submissions that were received.
