The Kivalliq Inuit Centre (KIC), a boarding home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, is unique in its provision of a pilot prenatal education class and public health nursing services for Nunavummiut who are beneficiaries of the Nunavut Land Claim Agreement. Through a critical review of literature, policies and interviews related to evacuation for birth, we argue that the pilot at the KIC has the potential to play an important role in improving maternal child health for residents of Nunavut.
基瓦利克因纽特人中心(KIC)位于马尼托巴省温尼伯市,是一家寄宿机构,它为受益于《努纳武特土地索赔协议》的努纳武特居民提供试点产前教育课程和公共卫生护理服务,这一点颇为独特。通过对与分娩后送医疏散相关的文献、政策进行批判性审查以及访谈,我们认为,基瓦利克因纽特人中心的试点项目有潜力在改善努纳武特居民的母婴健康方面发挥重要作用。
