Healthcare in indigenous populations

Healthcare in indigenous populations involves providing medical services that respect their cultural practices, beliefs, and unique health needs. Often, these communities face disparities due to limited access to healthcare facilities, socioeconomic factors, and historical inequities. Effective care combines conventional medicine with traditional knowledge, emphasizing community involvement and culturally sensitive approaches. Improving healthcare in indigenous populations aims to reduce health gaps, promote wellness, and support overall quality of life through accessible services, prevention, and collaborative healthcare practices.
