Newly appointed medical officer of health Dr. Mustafa Hirji is impressed by the scope and depth of the work carried out by Public Health Sudbury and Districts
The Sudbury Board of Health was presented with its year-in-review document this week that showed the full depth and scope of public health programs and interactions that were carried out by the staff of Public Health Sudbury and Districts last year.
She said community engagement and proactive measures were focusing on three key areas — the community drug strategy, the Sudbury opioid summit on toxic drugs and the issuance of drug warnings. Stacey Laforest, director of the health protection division, commented on the work carried out in the community to maintain the safety of such things as food, water and the environment.
Under the Smoke Free Ontario Act, Laforest said public health inspectors conducted intense surveillance.
