| Abstract: | This study presents estimates of the cost of providing primary health care to remote Aboriginal
communities in the Northern Territory for a number of common conditions. These conditions are the
metabolic syndrome related diseases (hypertension, diabetes, ischaemic heart disease and renal
disease), chronic lung disease, well children under five years of age, and antenatal care. The aim of
the project was to inform the development of proposed Medicare items that will improve access for
Aboriginal populations in remote areas to mainstream primary health care funding. |
