Healthy debate
​
Our mission is to provide accurate, accessible information about health care to the public, practitioners, journalists, students, managers and policy makers; to be a forum for thoughtful deliberation about Canada’s health care systems; and to increase the frequency with which health system leaders use evidence and informed public input when making policy and management decisions.

Manitoba Association for Rights and Liberties (MARL)

Formed in 1978, the Manitoba Association for Rights and Liberties is a non-profit, non-governmental, human rights and civil liberties organization.

We take action in education and advocacy for human rights and civil liberties toward greater social justice in the province.

Health Law Institute (U of AB)
​
Broadly the goals of the newly configured HLI are to conduct health law and science policy research, disseminate scholarly outputs and policy work to a broad interdisciplinary community, facilitate collaborative opportunities with national and internationally based researchers and organizations, and attract top graduate students to the Faculty.
Manitoba Centre for Health Policy
​
We carry out population-based research on health services, population and public health, and the social determinants of health. Many factors affect health, such as health care, health programs and policies, income, education, employment and social circumstances. Our research helps Manitoba to maximize our healthcare dollars and to identify health and social policy tools we need for the future. We also research what will level the playing field between children from low- and high-income neighbourhoods, and northern and rural areas and urban areas.
