The Human Health Collection reflects the significant developments in biomedical research related to human health, mainly in Quebec, but also elsewhere in Canada and around the world. These objects serve as reference points, enrichment, or support to demonstrate the evolution of human health research over time. The Human Health Collection is a complement to the other two collections of the Musée de la santé Armand-Frappier.
