AFN Health & Social Secretariat Mandate & GoalWe are responsible to protect, maintain, promote, support, and advocate for our inherent, treaty and constitutional rights,(w)holistic health, and the well-being of our nations.This will be achieved through policy analysis, communications, and, most importantly, lobbying on behalf of First Nations’communities and individuals to ensure properly funded services and programs are delivered at the same or better levelenjoyed by all Canadians.The AFN is publishing this NIHB Handbook to assist First Nations in accessing Non-Insured Health Benefits. This Handbookis not an endorsement by AFN of current NIHB policies and criteria. In fact, AFN is continually working to remove restrictionsto benefits and to obtain full recognition by the Government of Canada of its fiduciary obligation in the provision of healthservices to First Nations.
