Resilient Health: Leveraging Technology and Social Innovations to Transform Healthcare for COVID-19 Recovery and Beyond, 2024, Pages 713-727
This chapter supports UN SDG3 and discusses how Indigenous communities are grounded in the connections among people and between people and the natural world. Especially important is the wisdom of elders and the knowledge that comes from culturally embedded teachings and how unique technological tools can aid in strengthening self-esteem and well-being and rebuild core cultural relationships.
This content addresses SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG-10 (Reduced inequalities), aligns with the World Health Organization’s goal to promote universal health coverage, and aims to help close the health treatment gap that keeps remote, underserved communities from accessing needed quality health services.
