Changes to Nunavut’s ICFI funding force Inuit women to choose between safe births and children’s care.
Healthcare workers in Nunavut say changes to the Inuit Child First Initiative (ICFI) funding program are forcing pregnant Inuit women to choose between having a safe birth or ensuring their children receive proper care.
Launched in 2019, ICFI aimed to provide children access to health and social services without leaving their communities.
Recent changes require medical professional support for non-medical support applications, leading to fewer approvals and more national reviews.
This has healthcare workers worried about potential unsafe births and children's welfare.
