Alberta Public Health Act

The Alberta Public Health Act is legislation that guides how health authorities and government respond to health concerns in the province. It provides the legal framework for preventing, controlling, and managing public health risks like infectious diseases, environmental hazards, and health emergencies. The Act enables health officials to perform actions such as disease reporting, vaccination programs, and quarantine measures while balancing individual rights and community safety. Its goal is to protect and improve the health of all Albertans through coordinated, lawful public health practices.
