Tsilhqot’in First Nation say calls to action resulting from 2020 report remain unaddressed
A British Columbia First Nation says racism in the health-care system persists despite efforts by the government and industry to combat the problem.
Tsilhqot’in Tribal Chair Joe Alphonse says racism within the local health system is limiting the Indigenous community’s access to care, and the problem is further exacerbated by a “dire shortage of doctors.” In November 2020, the B.C. government released the report which found that “stereotyping, prejudice and racist treatment” were common experiences for Indigenous people seeking health care, and it recommended policy and legislation changes to protect patients.The Tsilhqot’in Nation says the calls for action from the report remain unaddressed.
