We will maximize the impact of CADTH’s work, supporting, through evidence, the appropriate use of drugs and other health technologies in delivering value and sustainability for health systems.

Agility Image

We will be curious and alert, anticipating changes in the health system and moving quickly to refine our methods, processes, and services so our work remains relevant, trusted, and reflective of high standards of excellence.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Image

Partnership

We will cultivate meaningful relationships with patient communities (including individual patients, their families and caregivers, and those who represent patients); clinicians; industry; other health organizations; and federal, provincial, and territorial governments; informing, engaging, and respecting our partners to together improve and strengthen the quality and significance of our work.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Image

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

We will apply a lens of equity and inclusiveness, fostering health systems that reflect the diverse people of Canada and respond to the self-identified priorities and cultural practices of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Image

Transparency

We will act with integrity, modelling transparency in how we conduct our work, in our decision-making processes, and in sharing the outcome of our efforts.
