Structures of Indifference: An Indigenous Life and Death in a Canadian City is a history book that analyses racial prejudice within Canadian medical hospitals

" At the heart of this story is a thirty-four-hour period in September 2008. During that day and half, Brian Sinclair, a middle-aged, non-Status Anishinaabeg resident of Manitoba's capital city, arrived in the emergency room of the Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg's major downtown hospital, was left untreated and unattended to, and ultimately died from an easily treatable infection."


another example of systemic injustice in health of Canadians is illustrated by Tuberculosis.

"In 2017, the rate of active tuberculosis in Canada was 4.9 per 100,000 population. The rate was highest among Canadian-born Indigenous Peoples (21.5 per 100,000 population)."

Keep in mind TB is both a preventable and curable disease. One that has been almost entire eradicated in euro-canadian population.
