Abstract

To monitor the progress of the COVID-19 outbreak, ensure equitable access to testing and treatment, and provide up-to-date information to Indigenous decision-makers engaged in setting up measures to protect their communities, the Manitoba Inuit Association (MIA) mobilized to work with the First Nation Heath and Social Secretariat of Manitoba, Ongomiizwin Research, and the Manitoba Government to identify Inuit in COVID-19 diagnostic tests, including Inuit who reside in Manitoba or those who come from Nunavut to the province to access health services. Provincial work was already underway to add Indigenous identifiers into provincial clinical health information systems; however, it was apparent early in April 2020 that reporting to Indigenous organizations on identified COVID-19 cases for First Nation, Metis, and Inuit People would be also be required in order for remedial measures to occur. This article describes the governance considerations needed to establish an information-sharing agreement with the Government of Manitoba and the role of the MIA in overseeing this process. Further background information is provided in addition to an extended discussion around the context in which Inuit are identified and receive healthcare services in Manitoba.

马尼托巴省因纽特人协会在马尼托巴新冠肺炎诊断测试中包含因纽特人标识符的快速反应
为了监测新冠肺炎疫情的进展,确保公平获得检测和治疗,并向参与制定保护社区措施的土著决策者提供最新信息,马尼托巴因纽特人协会(MIA)动员起来与马尼托巴省第一民族卫生和社会秘书处、Ongomiizwin Research、,马尼托巴省政府在新冠肺炎诊断测试中识别因纽特人,包括居住在马尼托巴的因纽特人或从努纳武特到该省获得卫生服务的因纽特人。在省级临床卫生信息系统中增加土著识别码的工作已经在进行中;然而,在2020年4月初,很明显,为了采取补救措施,还需要向土著组织报告第一民族、梅蒂斯人和因纽特人的新冠肺炎确诊病例。本文描述了与曼尼托巴省政府建立信息共享协议所需的治理考虑因素,以及MIA在监督这一过程中的作用。除了围绕因纽特人在马尼托巴省被识别和接受医疗服务的背景进行的深入讨论外,还提供了进一步的背景信息。
