Indigenous Health
Indigenous health refers to the physical, mental, and social well-being of Indigenous peoples, including groups such as the Native Americans, First Nations, Inuit, and Aboriginal Australians. It encompasses the unique health challenges these communities face, often linked to historical trauma, socioeconomic factors, and limited access to healthcare services.
Efforts to improve Indigenous health focus on culturally appropriate practices and the integration of traditional healing methods with modern medicine. This approach recognizes the importance of community involvement and the need to address systemic inequalities that affect the health outcomes of Indigenous populations.
