This article examines how Canada has approached the challenge of global health in its foreign policy and the degree to which the much-discussed concept of human security has influenced this. In exploring this subject, we specifically focus on Canadian provision of foreign aid for health. It observes that despite the needs and opportunities for stepping up assistance in recent years, Canada’s foreign policy has not transformed itself to meet the challenge of overcoming global inequalities.
