Many residents in the Northwest Territories continue to face barriers to accessing health care. Services are not always timely, culturally safe, or designed in collaboration with communities. People continue to experience gaps in care and outcomes.

Members of the Legislative Assembly have approved the 2026–27 Capital Estimates, paving the way for strategic investments in infrastructure that will benefit communities across the Northwest Territories.
