SBS, in its report on the 17th National Rural Health Conference in Perth, highlighted the unique challenges faced by Indigenous communities in some of Australia’s most remote locations.
“Some of the most remote communities in Australia are located in Western Australia, with access to life-saving technology and services often thousands of kilometres away,” SBS reports.
SBS also spoke with some of the delegates of the conference, shedding light on the extent of kidney disease experienced by Indigenous Australians.
