Implementing the 'Patients' Charter of Tuberculosis Care' in High Incidence Indigenous Communities and Across Jurisdictional Borders
FY 2019-20
Summary
The Pathways to Health Equity for Indigenous Peoples, a signature initiative launched by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, encourages the involvement of community partners in the development of evidence-based interventions that can be expanded over time to improve the health of Indigenous Peoples in one of four exemplar areas including tuberculosis (TB). TB is a critically important exemplar area for Canada, because despite nationally and internationally promoted targets the country has not made progress on elimination in 15 years. Increasing the equitable reach, access and sustainability of interventions to achieve comparable health outcomes with respect to the aforementioned exemplars is the goal of expansion. In this proposal, we describe the actions of our team to improve control of TB disease, and most significantly, commit to the aspirations of self-determination among our Indigenous partners.
