Published: 1 June 2020

Dr. Samir Shaheen-Hussain, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics' Division of Emergency Medicine, publishes book, "Fighting for a Hand to Hold: Confronting Medical Colonialism against Indigenous Children in Canada", that is an exploration of anti-Indigenous systemic racism in Canadian health care and the medical establishment's role in colonial genocide.

"Two child patients inspired Dr. Samir Shaheen-Hussain to take on what he calls “medical colonialism” in Canada and end a policy in Quebec that denied Indigenous children an escort when being airlifted for medical treatment."  Moore, H.
