Abstract
Over the past few months, our fellow citizens have heard more about public health than ever before. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has shed light on the vital role played by public health for health protection and provided telling evidence about current public health capacity as well as the corrective measures to be taken and milestones to be achieved in the future. To this end, we identify several ways forward to re-empower public health in Québec and thus ensure that it can significantly contribute to population health. In particular, we propose that although reforms must continue to bolster health protection, substantial efforts are required to strengthen surveillance systems, prevention systems, health promotion systems, and accessible, effective, and overarching primary care systems.Entities:
