Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority takes walk down memory lane
A huge milestone was marked this week by the Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority (NIHA).
The 20th anniversary celebration is part of a two-day conference this week at the Wildlife Federation Building north of Prince Albert. Medical Health Officer Doctor Nnamdi Ndubuka said one of the biggest challenges they face in terms of service delivery is meeting the diverse needs of the 33 communities they serve.
“We do our best and we strive to show we maintain the principles of equity, making sure of the four partners, we don’t take sides but we deliver services equally,” he said.
The NIHA involves a partnership involving Prince Albert Grand Council, Meadow Lake Tribal Council, Lac La Ronge Indian Band, and Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation. Ndubuka, who has been with the health authority for five years, said one of his personal goals moving forward is providing more services to the communities they serve.
