Indigenous Health Framework

The Indigenous Health Framework focuses on improving health outcomes for Indigenous communities by recognizing their unique cultural, social, and historical contexts. It emphasizes respecting Indigenous traditions, values, and ways of knowing, while addressing factors like access to quality healthcare, social determinants, and intergenerational trauma. The framework promotes a holistic view of health—considering physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being—and seeks to empower communities through culturally safe services and active participation in health decisions. Ultimately, it aims for equitable, respectful healthcare that supports Indigenous people's overall wellness and sovereign rights.
