The Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services says it’s still waiting to hear whether it will receive a share of the $15 million in funding recently announced by the Quebec government to create “cultural security” for Indigenous people using the province’s health-care system, Nunatsiaq News reports.

The new funding is meant to fund cultural sensitivity training for non-Indigenous health-care staff, as well as liaison officers at health-care centres to help Indigenous patients navigate the system, the government announced on Nov. 6.

The announcement comes as a direct response to the recent death of Joyce Echaquan, a 37-year-old Atikamekw woman who filmed health-care workers at a Joliette hospital taunting her and making racists comments as she lay dying.

Her death sparked angry calls for reform and respect in Quebec’s health-care system, which have now prompted a public inquiry.
