Report released in May makes 13 recommendations to improve outcomes for Indigenous patients
N.W.T.’s health minister had few details on Monday about the government’s response to a report last spring on how the territory could improve health-care outcomes for Indigenous patients.
Great Slave MLA Kate Reid asked about it in the legislative assembly.
“It is the first government report I have ever read that not only calls the lack of adequate educational and training support for Indigenous, patient liaison staff ‘preposterous,’ it is also brave and unflinching in how it describes racism and white supremacy baked into the health system,” Reid said on Monday.
