National Aboriginal Health Organization
National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO) was a health organization in Canada that focused on the health issues of the Aboriginal peoples. Established in 2000, NAHO's mission was to improve and promote health and well-being among Aboriginal peoples through knowledge-based activities.
History[edit | edit source]
NAHO was established in 2000 by the Canadian government as part of its strategy to improve the health and well-being of Aboriginal peoples in Canada. The organization was funded by Health Canada until its closure in 2012.
Mandate[edit | edit source]
NAHO's mandate was to influence and advance the health and well-being of Aboriginal Peoples by carrying out knowledge-based strategies. This included research, education, and sharing of information.
Structure[edit | edit source]
NAHO was an umbrella organization that included three centres: the First Nations Centre, the Inuit Tuttarvingat, and the Métis Centre. Each centre focused on the specific health needs and issues of their respective communities.
Activities[edit | edit source]
NAHO conducted research, developed educational materials, and disseminated information on a wide range of health issues affecting Aboriginal peoples in Canada. It also worked to build capacity within Aboriginal communities to address health issues.
Closure[edit | edit source]
In 2012, NAHO was closed due to funding cuts by the federal government. The decision was met with criticism from various quarters, including Aboriginal leaders and health professionals.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Despite its closure, NAHO's work continues to have an impact. Its research and publications are still used by health professionals, researchers, and policy makers to inform their work on Aboriginal health issues.
