Paper long abstract:

This research paper delves into the fatal health challenges faced by Indigenous women in urban areas, particularly studying their physical, reproductive and mental health issues. In addition, this study identifies the social determinants of health that were developed specifically for this section and concentrates on their accessibility to general healthcare services. The distinct health inequalities faced by Urban Aboriginal communities are intensified by systemic and socio-cultural obstacles, such as sexism, racism, and restricted ambulatory access. A comprehensive review of the literature has made it possible to pinpoint important gaps in the data that are currently available regarding Indigenous health issues. It has also shed light on the ineffective implementation of the policies designed to improve the status of this population and underdeveloped status of social determinants of health. This research paper seeks to close these gaps by developing health indicators to track and enhance the health outcomes of this section. The study combines quantitative and qualitative approaches, methodically examining previous research and analyzing data to find patterns, connections, and discrepancies. The health indicators that were most prevalent, according to a thorough research, were education, employment, health care services, income, nutrition, and tobacco and alcohol consumption.
