It would not have been possible without the valuable contributions from individuals affected by hepatitis C, service providers and representatives from First Nations, Métis and Inuit organizations across Canada.

The development of this strategic plan was guided primarily by the results of focus group sessions conducted by Pauktuutit and by the outcomes of the Hepatitis C National Inuit Strategic Planning Session held in Kuujjuaq, Nunavik, on January 20-21, 2013. This event was organized by Pauktuutit and the Canadian Inuit HIV/AIDS Network (CIHAN), which functions as a consultative group to Pauktuutit on matters pertaining to HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C prevention, care, and treatment. The strategic planning session was made possible with financial support from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).

Unintentional injuries are a major source of morbidity and mortality among Canadian Inuit. Along with suicides, injuries are the main contributor to disparities in mortality rates between Inuit young adults and those in the rest of Canada. There is a huge economic impact that comes with the high incidence of unintentional injuries in the North. Inuit, however, face particular challenges and there is a need to address the unique geographic, cultural, and linguistic characteristics of Inuit.
