What is Lalonde Report?

Information about Lalonde Report

The LaLonde report is a 1974 report produced in Canada entitled A new perspective on the health of Canadians. It is considered the first report acknowledged by a major industrialised nation to state that health is determined by more than just biological factors. As a result of this, it proposed a so-called field of health. This health field represented health as being dependent upon four related aspects - biology, environment, lifestyle and access to healthcare services. It was also fundamental in identifying health inequalities.
