MP Serré announces that the Addressing Racism and Discrimination in Canada’s Health Systems Program is now accepting call for proposals until May 15^th, 2022. This program seeks to address systemic anti-Indigenous racism and/or discrimination in Canada health systems by supporting projects that improve equitable access to health services for racialized and marginalized populations.

Priority is given to projects that seek to:

1. Develop and implement cultural safety and humility training, curriculum, and/or accreditation requirements for health services providers (Health Human Resources), including administrators; and,
2. Integrate culturally safe care in acute care settings and traditional approaches to health.

Eligible organizations such as Indigenous governments and organizations, health system service providers and associations, educational/academic institutions, and not-for-profit organizations are encouraged to apply without delay.
