Description: The Aboriginal Health Transition Fund (AHTF) is a five-year, $200-million fund designed to improve access to health care for Aboriginal peoples in Canada. The AHTF will achieve this overall goal by supporting better integration of federally funded health systems in First Nations and Inuit communities with provincial/territorial health systems and through the adaptation of existing provincial/territorial health service systems to better meet the needs of all Aboriginal peoples, including Métis and those living off-reserve. The AHTF is also intended to increase the participation of Aboriginal peoples in the design, delivery, and evaluation of health programs and services that affect them. It was launched in 2004-2005 and will run until 2009-2010.
