The valorisation of traditional medicine has positive cultural benefits but, unfortunately, had some unintended effects of vaccine hesitation. So I think the challenge is combining the two in a way that bests serves peoples needs

I did a bit of work in the area of aboriginal healthcare and border crossings between nations did come up as an issue as a way in which western healthcare was insensitive to indigenous needs. It probably doesn't affect the most assimilated but might screw regional mortality rates

For urban indigenous populations, distrust of authorities and therefore unwillingness for follow up care is probably a bigger factor, as well as healthcare bureaucracy being harder to navigate for those who aren't a part of the dominant culture (white, middle class).

A key factor in this (that might be a difference between Australian and Canadian indigenous) is that it goes against Aboriginal culture to leave one's own land and go into the land of a different first nation. This makes flying to an ICU located in a different city culturally traumatic.
