Dr. Emery A. Johnson, Assistant Surgeon General of the Indian Health Service, emphasizes the importance of providing comprehensive health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The Indian Health Service has made significant investments in combating health problems caused by poor living conditions, such as overcrowding and lack of sanitation facilities. The lack of decent housing contributes to health issues, including high infant mortality rates and infectious diseases. Improving housing conditions is essential for improving the overall health of the Indian and Alaska Native populations.
