Since 1973 Congress continues to promote a broad approach to improving Aboriginal health.
As the National Aboriginal Health Strategy stated: "Health to Aboriginal peoples is a matter of determining all aspects of their life, including control over their physical environment, of dignity, of community self-esteem, and of justice. It is not merely a matter of the provision of doctors, hospitals, medicines or the absence of disease and incapacity."
