UN Declaration Implementation Act action item: Well-Being, Economic and Social Equity
Health care reform
Health care reform: Cultural Safety
The GNWT will strengthen culturally safe healthcare delivery across all service areas. This will include advancing approaches to primary healthcare service delivery in culturally safe ways that uphold personal dignity, promote safety and help ensure equity of access for Indigenous patients.
Target: The GNWT, working in collaboration with the Indigenous Advisory Body, will review the Cultural Safety Action Plan and determine actions going forward. Also, the Indigenous Advisory Body will oversee the implementation of the Honouring the Voices of Indigenous Peoples, Actions for Change in the Northwest Territories Health Care System.
The GNWT will monitor implementation and report annually, including to the APC, on outcomes to ensure continued progress toward culturally safe care and alignment with UN Declaration, with an aspirational completion timeline of 2030.
