Disadvantages of being indigenous
individual in Canada
Author Note:

Lack of Healthcare Entities
 Inadequate number of health care Units
 Inadequate number of health care professionals.
 Improper adjustment of patient transport systems
 Improper funding for the sustainability of Health care units.

Barriers towards Proper Health Care
Education
 Lack of Role models who can guide, for having proper
healthcare education (Richmond, & Cook, 2016).
 Low awareness of Healthcare rights.
 Confusion with the admission process at hospitals and clinics as
it was too complex (Richmond, & Cook, 2016).
 Facing discrimination upon admission to a healthcare entity.
 Non understanding the proper mechanism of the use of drugs
(Richmond, & Cook, 2016).

Shortages of Drug Supplies
 The phenomenon of drug shortage had been consistent not
among the native of Canadian population but have shown fierce
rates all over the world.
 The shortage has mostly been noted among the Cancer Drugs.
 The drug shortage prevails mostly due to lack of raw
materials, increased rate making patients out of pockets to buy
them leading to loss of productivity.
 Inadequate transport of drugs to remote areas.

Unavailability of World
Class Treatment
 Individuals residing in certain remote areas
usually stay isolated from new intervention
techniques (Karen Palmer et al., 2020).
 Use of certain techniques can used for life
saving processes which may include
treatment for AIDS and cancer as well.
 Such cases may show lack of availability of
quality ambulance service to quality surgical
techniques in hospitals (Karen Palmer et
al., 2020).

Bound to colonial
Legacy of Health care
 Being deprived of quality health care the aboriginals
had developed their own strategies of healing (Jacklin
et al., 2017).
 Hence interventions to an extent had been discovered
by them only.
 Many in the same community presently have beliefs
that the modern methods may not be fruitful enough
(Jacklin et al., 2017).
 The thought hence barring them to accept these new
ways.
 Moreover these have a strong impact in manipulating
the crowd as well (Jacklin et al., 2017).

Conclusion
 Thus it can be concluded that Indigenous population are highly vulnerable
to these circumstances.
 These factors not only limit health education but also pushes a community
towards more vulnerability.
 Retention of diseases thus stays within the community and a total
eradication often lacks.
 People deprived of benefits are not even aware that what they are lacking.
 More approach via media and social media need to be done as a step
towards eradication of their vulnerable situation followed by their health
issues.
