As a public health professional, my mandate is to promote and protect the health of the public. Public health addresses health inequities and works toward population-wide solutions and improvements in health and wellness. It is a field that transcends all borders. It focuses on preventing injury and illness, protecting health and promoting wellness.

At its core, public health is about what is best for all of us. Guided by this mandate, I commit to the following:

• I affirm that health is a fundamental human right and strive to protect this right for all individuals and communities.
• I commit myself to excellence in all my work, holding myself to the highest ethical standards as I practice in the field of public health.
• I uphold the highest standards of dignity, equality and respect for the cultures, communities and individuals I encounter.
