The article focuses on the health care in Canada which could benefit from its circumpolar neighbours in promoting health equity. It mentions that the Arctic Human Health Expert Group provides an international and policy-based forum that addresses the concern on human health and promotes the sharing of ideas for health improvement. It states that northern Canada needs a reorientation for circumpolar partnerships in building evidence-based policies and to distribute best practices in health care. INSET: KEY POINTS.
