Indigenous leaders and bioscience professionals are gathering this week to promote health-care technology in northern communities.
Bioscience Association Manitoba is hosting its second annual Indigenous Health Innovations conference on Thursday, a day after the World Indigenous Business Forum ends its Winnipeg tenure.
“We fly a lot of people in the North to get access for care for things that technology can actually give them,” said Andrea Ladouceur, Bioscience Association Manitoba’s president.
For example, Manitobans may hop on a plane for a strep throat test when they don’t need to, she said.
Speakers at the day-long event at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg include Bunibonibee Cree Nation Chief Sheila North and Carol Anne Hilton, the founder of Indigenomics, an Indigenous economic design platform.
