We call on young people to take precautionary measures: #handhygiene, physical distance, wear a mask, stay home if you’re feeling unwell, avoid crowded places & mass gatherings, to protect yourselves & others from #COVID19. Play it safe & help end this pandemic.
This can’t be summarized and should be watched...especially with the statistics on suicide in the black community. So watch this. Talk about it. Amplify it. And, then, don’t stop

#Policies of assimilation, such as the Indian Act, were detrimental to the #health and well-being of Aboriginal/Indigenous people of #Canada because they were treated as wards of the state. #MED6724#MED6288#healthpolicy
Interesting that the Indigenous/Aboriginal view of #health differs from the Western view in that the former sees health as a journey, whereas the latter sees health as a destination. #MED6288#MED6724#healthpolicy
Mistrust regarding #Ebola treatment in the DRC has made health workers targets for violence. Some locals believe #Ebola is a government scheme to repress the region, or that it is aimed at enriching international humanitarian responders. #MED6274#MED6288 https://t.co/vDOdTJy8Uk
Doctors are now using local leaders in a vaccination drive targeting the Pygmies, a hard-to-access community in the DRC.People are more willing to be vaccinated after being advised to do so by their leaders because they trust them. #Ebola#MED6724#MED6288
