Under the Constitution Act, health and health care obligations are shared by the federal and provincial governments. So in addition to the federal health resources we've highlighted in our "Canada" tab, here are links to each province's Health departments, as well as some other provincial resources where available.

International Organizations

Intergovernmental Organizations

Intergovernmental organizations, or international organizations, aren't technically "government," but are usually composed of sovereign states, though they may also include representation from non-profit organizations or corporations.

The World Health Organization, the United Nations' public health agency, is a major provider of international health information. We've included links to many of its most vital resources, as well as its major publications.

We've also included links to important resources provided by other UN agencies, the OECD, and more.

UNB Libraries has a large collection of print materials, including documents from the Canadian federal government, every province and territory, foreign countries, and international intergovernmental organizations. Our collection is identified by the "HIL-GOV" and "HIL-STORG" locations, and can be found via WorldCat:

Citing Government Documents

Like all publications, citations for government publications should be consistent with the citation style used elsewhere in your work - most commonly, APA or MLA.

I assist researchers with their general informational needs as well as those more specifically geared toward government documents, data, and maps/GIS. I also work with the research data management (RDM) working group to provide RDM services at UNB.
