Israel is a global leader in health science and biotechnology. It is also a centre for both research and development in virtually every area of scientific enquiry.
Canada and Canadian benefit from all of this leadership.
Advanced Israeli medical devices and equipment are used widely in Canadian hospitals.
Israeli developed drugs are offering physicians and patients a plethora of new remedies to a vast array of medical and health challenges. Likewise Israeli generic drugs are dramatically reducing health care costs to individual patients and to our provincial public health care sectors.
Canada and the world benefit from the vast amount of medical research that Israel invests in for its own citizens and share freely with people across the planet. The most obvious example of this is the way that Israel has served as a nation scaled test and evaluation site for the life saving vaccines produced by Pfizer.
