What do we mean by general translated documents?

General translated documents are documents that are of a general nature on a variety of health subjects and therefore, can be useful to many agencies.

Why has the list been revised?

The master list has been revised to enhance its utilization and make it more efficient. Our goal is to include all health care sectorsin order to promote and maximize better coordination of access to available translated documents. By improving the coordination of this system, this initiative, in partnership with health service providers will contribute to better access and accessibility of French services to the French-speaking population. In addition, this initiative is intended to encourage the best use of available resources by the sharing of translated documents.

What has changed?

The list is now structured by subject title therefore facilitating the search of a document. Under each subjectyou will find the title of the document in English and in French. This list will be shared with all agencies that have been identified or designated to provide French language services. It may also be shared with other health care agencies that have identified a need for such documents.

What can you find in the master list?
