Introduction

Removing barriers faced by Indigenous peoples in accessing health care, and building community-specific capacity to improve the circle of care and health outcomes is our focus.

The Government of Alberta is committed to ensuring that First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Alberta have equitable access to high-quality, timely, culturally appropriate and safe care that is free of Indigenous racism, and that Indigenous patient trust is restored in the Alberta health care system leading to improved Indigenous health outcomes for generations to come.

The Indigenous Health Division is working to develop, leverage and strengthens relationships with First Nations, Métis and Inuit partners to ensure Indigenous peoples in Alberta have access to culturally appropriate and safe health care programs, and that each step of the health program, policy and service planning process includes Indigenous partners perspectives, and reflects patients’ unique health needs.
