A February 2020 article by the University of Manitoba's Rady Faculty of Health Sciences said,
"Addressing health inequities requires a deeper understanding of the diversity within and across First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities, as well as how different models of Indigenous-led health partnerships can respond to context-specific service needs."
"A largely biomedical approach to health fails to address Indigenous patients' myriad, unique needs in an integrated, holistic manner."
"If the swell of efforts of Elders, Knowledge Keepers and healers can be supported by the larger medical community, and if barriers to full health care rights for Indigenous Peoples can be lessened or removed … then systemic racism can be overpowered and health equity can be more easily approached."
