Aboriginal Health
The Health Council of Canada monitors and reports on progress made toward fulfilling the accord commitments on Aboriginal Health.
"First Ministers recognize that addressing the serious challenges that face the health of Aboriginal Canadians will require dedicated effort. To this end, the federal government is committed to enhancing its funding and working collaboratively with other governments and Aboriginal peoples to meet the objectives set out in this Accord, including the priorities established in the Health Reform Fund. Governments will work together to address the gap in health status between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians through better integration of health services."-2003 First Ministers’ Accord on Health Care Renewal
