How do you bring together two philosophies of medicine: Indigenous and Western? And is that even the right question to ask? We talk to two doctors who are re-imaging ways for Canada’s healthcare system to work better for Indigenous patients. They talk about their hard won successes and the challenges they faced along the way.

Voices in this episode:
Dr. Danièle Behn Smith, British Columbia’s Deputy Provincial Health Officer for Indigenous Health

Universal healthcare is supposed to mean that everyone gets equitable access, treatment and care. But do we really? From the Canadian Race Relations Foundation and hosted by Dr. Alika Lafontaine, The Healthcare Divide is a new podcast that exposes uncomfortable truths, troubling realities and innovative efforts to overcome racism in Canada’s healthcare system. Patients, healthcare workers and medical experts weigh in on everything from experiences of harm to grassroots care movements, policy change, and explorations of artificial intelligence to bridge the divide with real stories, data-driven insights, and expert interviews that expose the cracks in the system. The Healthcare Divide is produced by Antica Productions and Makwa Creative. The podcast was made possible by support from Pfizer Canada.
