Ngukurr locals plea for bigger health clinic

在 ServiceModel 客户端配置部分中,找不到引用协定“TranslatorService.LanguageService”的默认终结点元素。这可能是因为未找到应用程序的配置文件,或者是因为客户端元素中找不到与此协定匹配的终结点元素。

Representatives of a remote Northern Territory Aboriginal community say they urgently need better health services.

But they say their calls for help are being ignored.

The health centre in Ngukurr, about 250 kilometres east of Katherine, was built in the mid-1970s to cater for about 300 people.

The local population has now risen above 1,500.

Community spokesman Bobby Nunggumajbarr says the clinic is too small and staff are leaving because they are under so much pressure.

''We need to see a bigger clinic to accommodate our children and people in our community,'' he said

Sunrise Health Service chief executive Graham Castine says the clinic recently treated about 130 patients in a single day.

''Everyone's tripping over each other and the consultations and stuff aren't the best they could be because of that,'' he said.

Mr Castine says the health centre is below par and government must invest in a new facility.

The Territory government says it is working with the Commonwealth to improve the community's health service.
