The Nova Scotia government has established a community-based working group to support the collection of race-based data in the health system.
Collecting and interpreting race-based health data will help the government identify and address inequities in health care and better serve racialized people by collaborating on community-level programs and initiatives.
“We know that race is one of the factors that affects people’s access to care. Collecting this data will help us better understand what Nova Scotia’s diverse populations need to be healthy,” said Premier Iain Rankin. “Communities have asked for this, and we will continue to work with them to address barriers and promote equity in health care.”
