A Local Culinary Adventure: inspired by Halifax's Seaport Market | SaltWire #cooking #cookingtipsALICE SPRINGS - Three times a week, Rachel Napaltjarri, an Aboriginal woman suffering from end-stage kidney failure, receives lifesaving dialysis to cleanse her blood in a mobile medical unit in central Australia's remote outback town of Alice Springs.
Headquartered in Alice Springs, it's an example of how community involvement can improve outcomes for Australia's Indigenous people, The Purple House CEO Sarah Brown told Reuters in an interview. "Having policy where Aboriginal people have actually been able to advise and have some input on whether an idea is going to work or not is such a simple no-brainer but could have such a big impact," Brown said.
Kidney failure is a common cause of death among the Indigenous. But Brown said Purple House's community-led model has helped central Australia go from having the worst dialysis survival rates in the country to the best.
