Join PHAC and the National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases for a webinar discussing the social realities of TB and the importance of a culturally responsive approach to TB care. The first hour of the webinar will focus on TB in First Nations communities, while the second hour will be dedicated to TB in Inuit communities. Each segment will offer practical insights on the socioeconomic factors shaping TB and provide strategies for health and social service providers to enhance their practices through cultural safety, competence & humility. Key efforts for advancing the TB response will also be discussed through an interactive Q&A.
Presented by the National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCCID) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), with the guidance of an advisory committee of First Nations and Inuit health professionals and community leaders with TB expertise.
