Success Stories

ANTaR's booklet of Success Stories in Indigenous Health (PDF 1.26mb) shows that Indigenous-led health care initiatives often get the best results.

The stories demonstrate that progress in improving Indigenous health is achieved when there is significant engagement with the Indigenous communities concerned and appropriate funding and support provided.
