The final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) released in 2015 included a few recommendations specifically for health. Some of these include:
- acknowledgement that the current state of Aboriginal health in Canada is a direct result of previous Canadian government policies
- recognition of and implementation of health care rights for Aboriginal people
- establishing measurable goals to identify and close gaps in health outcomes between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities
- providing progress reports, ensuring medical and nursing schools include courses dealing with Aboriginal health issues
- providing skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution and anti-racism.
This report also includes some potential steps to reach these recommendations.
