NDP

  • Make new investments in healthcare infrastructure, medical supplies, and diagnostic equipment in Indigenous communities

    "We will step up to close the health gap in Indigenous communities and bring health care closer to home. Indigenous people have an equal right to the highest standard of physical and mental health, with a right to access traditional medicines. New investments in healthcare infrastructure, medical supplies and diagnostic equipment will help meet people’s needs in their communities." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19
