Criticism in Canada over poor handling of outbreak of TB on Indian reservations
Health officials in Manitoba are being accused of not acting quickly enough to stop a tuberculosis outbreak in northern Manitoba First Nations [native] communities.
At least 19 people have been diagnosed in and around the Garden Hill reserve [reservation], about 600 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
...[a member of Parliament said]"There has not been a co-ordinated response to this outbreak and it has become critical."
