ABC Health Report, Monday 18 March 2019 5:45 PM
Leading Aboriginal researcher Associate Professor James Ward* is calling for action in remote Australia to deal with a preventable epidemic of sexually transmissible infections — including syphilis — in a population that’s no more sexually active than non-Indigenous people of the same age.
He joined Dr Norman Swan’s Health Report on ABC RN.
Later this month James will present to the National Rural Health Conference about addressing sexually transmitted infections in remote Australia.
*James Ward is Associate Professor, Flinders University; & Head of Infectious Diseases Research, Aboriginal Health, South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute.
