The Committee to Advise on Tropical Medicine and Travel (CATMAT) is an expert advisory body that assists PHAC with travel health-related advice for travellers and health care professionals.


The Committee was formed in February 1990 to:

-provide recommendations relating to the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and other health hazards that may be encountered by Canadian travellers outside of Canada;

-suggest mechanisms for the widespread dissemination and utilization of such recommendations and other travel or tropical medicine-related health information; and

-advise on priorities for epidemiological research and other activities related to travel or tropical medicine.
