Centering Indigenous Health Equity
Indigenous Health Equity Conversations (IHECs)
Indigenous Health Equity Conversations (IHECs)
As the Philippines rolls out universal healthcare (UHC), some of the country’s most marginalized people risk being left behind. Indigenous peoples in particular—who have faced centuries of land loss and discrimination through colonization, and who live primarily in remote communities—have seen their needs fall to the wayside.
The main objective of these IHECs is to elicit candid and honest visuals about healthcare from Indigenous communities all over the country and represent these as inputs to the ongoing implementation of UHC. In addition, we also want to surface their thoughts on climate change and the environment that affect their health (esp mental health) and well-being.
