A beige background with purple, teal and red elements. A silhouette of a pregant Indigenous woman looking down. Text highlights statistics and results from the national poll: In 2022, the government spent $602.2 million to fund medical transportation, including birth evacuations. An Indigenous midwife in every Indigenous community. With Indigenous-led care, we spend less for better health outcomes, and better local economies and education. Today, approximately 75% of deliveries in Nunavik are done through the work of Inuit midwives. 93.6% of respondents said the Canadian government should make changes to end routine birth evacuations. 95% of respondents agreed: Indigenous pregnant people should have access to care from qualified Indigenous midwives in their communities.
