With keen awareness, prudent care, early detection and social
responsibility, correct and prompt use of antiviral and
vaccination, we can overcome H1N1 flu.
We are pleased to be able to provide a link to the proceedings
of "Severe
H1N1 Disease: Preventing Cases, Reducing Mortality",
the conference that took place in Winnipeg on September
2nd and 3rd.
The proceedings provide a summary of observations and discussions
at the conference; they also identify issues to be addressed
in preparation for future waves of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009
flu virus.
A series of guidelines in French
and English
were developed from this meeting.
The Public Health Agency of Canada would like to thank
both the
participants and speakers for attending the meeting and
sharing their
guidance and experience.
