2004: Conference - Indigenous Peoples' Right to Health
A two day conference was held in 2004 to mark the end of the International Decade of Indigenous People, providing a unique opportunity for representatives of indigenous organisations and researchers engaged in work on indigenous health to discuss the issues. They shared their work with an audience of academics and professionals working in indigenous health including a number of representatives of indigenous people's organisations, and set out the prospects for the future. See the Press release.
The workshop and meeting at the end of the conference have provided a sharper set of recommendations which build on the experience of indigenous people, the experience of those who have worked with indigenous communities, and the researchers who have analysed the underlying process at work.
