ANH-Intl has been campaigning for freedom of choice in healthcare for over 12 years now. It’s one of our most fundamental campaigns. The recent case of a Canadian court granting an Aboriginal child, and others like her, the right to refuse chemotherapy in favour of traditional healing is a massive step forward for health freedom.
