MONTREAL --
In the middle of both Black History Month and an ongoing global pandemic, Quebec's nursing students are calling on the province to think about the contributions made by Black healthcare workers.
“I've never been so proud of myself for being a Black Canadian and entering into the medical field,” said Ifunanya Uzor, who is taking the licensed practical nursing course at Access.
Throughout the pandemic, People of Colour have worked in a variety of capacities on the front lines of the battle against COVID-19. Organizations such as Colours of COIVD have begun collecting race-based data to help gain a deeper understanding of how public health impacts racialized groups.
