Chief Provincial Public Health Officer’s Report on the Health Status of Manitobans 2010.

Priorities for Prevention: Everyone, Every Place, Every Day.

This report addresses a range of health issues that have been selected because of their major impact on health, their preventability and the availability of information about them. It attempts to present a composite picture of the health of Manitobans, emphasizing preventable priority health outcomes for Manitobans and the importance of addressing their suspected causes, such as health-related behaviours, environmental conditions and other determinants of health.

Health is a matter of concern for all of us; every Manitoban has a role to play in their own health and the health of others. It is also a matter of concern of all governments, private industry and non-government organizations. A healthy society promotes health for everyone, in every setting, every day. It is not just the business of the health system and its health care providers or facilities.
