Indigenous Health Transformational Roadmap 2018-2020

October 2, 2018

Release of “Indigenous Health Transformational Roadmap 2018-2020”. The Introduction states: “Any action in Indigenous health begins with knowing: the historical impact of legislation and policies on the health and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples in Canada, the current state of Indigenous health, and the health care rights of Indigenous peoples as laid out in international law, constitutional law, and under the Treaties”.

Strategic Direction # 1 – Align with the TRC Call to Action # 18

  • Establish an organization-wide commitment statement on the TRC calls to action, UN Declaration, Treaties and acknowledgement of Indigenous health-care rights
  • Recognize and shape into policy the health care rights of Indigenous peoples
