“Improving Indigenous Cancer Journeys: A Road Map is the result of a multi-year partnership between BC Cancer, First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC) and the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres (BCAAFC). Only the second of its kind in the country, its priorities are in line with the calls to action for health by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. The strategy addresses all aspects of cancer, from prevention through to survivorship with a focus on delivering culturally safe cancer care.”

EQUIP Health Care’s cancer care project resources. “The main goal of the EQUIP cancer care project is to improve cancer care for people who are experiencing significant health and social inequities. As a first step, we will improve our understanding of the factors that impact the uptake of equity-oriented healthcare strategies within cancer care.”
“It is estimated that nearly one in two Canadians will develop some form of cancer over their lifetimes. In supporting the growing number of individuals transitioning to survivorship care, there is a need to improve the coordination between cancer care and the primary- and community-care sectors. The transition in care following treatment into survivorship requires survivors and their families to adjust how they interact with the healthcare system. Additional supports are required to meet the needs of cancer survivors in this transition, as well as to enhance the capacity of primary- and community-care sectors in providing optimal care during and beyond the care transition.”
