THE CCISD - PIERRE VIENS AWARD

The Centre for international cooperation in health and development (CCISD), a Canadian not-for-profit corporation based in Quebec City, has been developing and managing international health projects since 1987.

CCISD's mission is to help sustainably improve the health of populations. Therefore, the Organization has been working in collaboration with a number of partners, including Laval University, in an effort to improve quality, access, equity and sustainability of health services.

CCISD is well aware of the many structural, demographic and financial challenges related to the provision of health care services meeting local needs. This is why the
​CCISD - Pierre Viens Award was created. This annual award is seeking to:   
 
  • recognize the contribution towards the improvement of populations' health by not-for-profit organizations and public health facilities that host interns from Laval University's Faculty of Medicine or Faculty of Nursing
  • support the implementation of projects that meet priority health needs, in particular those of women, children and their families
  • encourage the targeted organizations' staff members to pursue their efforts towards improving the health of populations
