Barriers to Access to Veterinary Care in Remote Indigenous Communities in Canada - With Valli Fraser-Celin, PhD

Barriers to veterinary care are a worldwide problem. These barriers can range in type, including financial constraints and living in a "veterinary care desert", and in some areas they are particularly unique. However, regardless of the nature of them, they can profoundly impact dog welfare.

This talk will present and discuss barriers to access to veterinary care for remote, Indigenous communities in Canada, how the lack of veterinary services affects both dogs and people, and how a One Health framework to veterinary service provision is a form of reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.
