Whereas:
Healthcare is a Treaty Obligation of the Crown and a human right
The Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program is meant to close the health gap and support the health needs of Indigenous people not covered though other health plans
Across northwestern Ontario, NIHB clients are frequently missing medical appointments because of the lack of travel and accommodation arrangements, and service providers are in precarious financial positions due to the long turnaround times for approvals
These challenges have real impacts on the health outcomes of First Nations people
The negligent state of NIHB is a continuation of Canada’s ongoing genocide against the first peoples of these lands.
