Session Description:
This session invites indigenous knowledge holders, community members, health personnel and researchers to share their stories about circumpolar maternal and child health. We welcome perspectives from both a biomedical and Indigenous knowledge standpoint with the aim to reframe best practices within a circumpolar context. It is our objective to examine circumpolar maternal and child health systems from a comparative global perspective that builds on the strengths of Indigenous knowledges to advance best practices for health policy and service delivery.
