This article concludes that mainstream health interventions must move beyond Western-centric models to embrace Indigenous worldviews, traditions, and leadership.

Further efforts should focus on scaling and adapting such models, prioritizing Indigenous voices to ensure programs are authentic, holistic, and supportive of community well-being.
