Bridging the Diagnosis Gap for Canada Indigenous Children

Canada s Indigenous communities have become the first country in the world to have access to their genetic data. But what does this mean for the rights of indigenous peoples? The BBC looks at a joint partnership between researchers, clinicians and scientists across the country, which are leading efforts to tackle the inequity. () How is it possible to be able to control those whose DNA is based on ethnic minorities, and how can they choose where to go to diagnosis and treatments for them? Why is the UN declaration against the right to access without any discrimination? And why is this one of the biggest challenges in human society - and what has the impact on the lives of people of Europe ancestry, who are now being treated by the United Nations, the BBC has learned from the UK. The Silent Genomes Project says it has been launched in July 17, 2023, to find out what is happening when it comes to human health services in Canada, with hundreds of years since it was adopted by Canada and the US? What could it mean? How can it be done? Is it really possible for Canada to stop making mistakes, writes Dr. Laura Arbour.
