 Who is leading the Nunavut survey? 

by October 19, 2023

The Nunavut component of the Qanuippitaa? National Inuit Health Survey (QNIHS) is a collaborative effort between Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI) and the Government of Nunavut (GN). This branch of the survey is being led by the Nunavut Inuit Health Survey Steering Committee that includes representatives from NTI and GN’s Department of Health.

An Inuit Health Survey Advisory Committee, which includes various representatives at the community, regional, and territorial level, provide important guidance to the Nunavut Qanuippitaa? Steering Committee to develop and implement the survey. These committees ensure that all the decisions for the survey are owned by and in the best interest of Nunavut Inuit.

The Nunavut Qanuippitaa? Steering Committee ensures that the survey will cover all the health topics that are important to Inuit in Nunavut, in a way that respects Inuit culture and values.

The Qanuippitaa? National Inuit Health Survey Working Group (NIHSWG) fits into a broader structure of Inuit Governance. The NIHSWG is a sub-committee of the National Inuit Committee on Health (NICoH) under Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK). NICoH provides technical guidance and recommendations related to national Inuit health care review, reform, and policy development to the ITK Board of Directors.
