Indigenous researchers are hoping to bring Inuit-led treatment options to Nunavik to help fight the region’s ongoing tuberculosis crisis. Between 2022 and 2023, a research team largely made up of Inuit and First Nations members interviewed 156 Inuit in Nunavik about their treatment experiences. Amongst the largest concerns was the inability for many Inuit to receive treatment close to home.
