Video promotes native prenatal health
Canadian Medical Association Journal 1996; 155: 741
The Native Physicians' Association in Canada (NPAC), with financial support from the Brewers Association of Canada, has produced a video that promotes prenatal health for native mothers and a supportive role for fathers, family members and the community. It has been released as part of the "Caring Together" program.
The video, which will be distributed to band offices, nursing stations and native friendship centres across the country, incorporates medicine, native spiritualism and traditional healing. Dr. Vincent Tookenay, the NPAC president, said the "Caring Together" program recognizes the support that cultural or traditional approaches and Western-trained physicians can offer.
