READ NOWSouth Metropolitan Health Service’s Aboriginal Health Strategy director Nola Naylor said the program would keep Aboriginal patients in touch with their communities and support their recovery.
“Being in hospital can be a daunting experience, especially if you’re away from family and friends,” she said.
“Aboriginal people have a strong spiritual connection with people and place, so listening to loved ones’ voices and a familiar song or two can help them stay connected, making a big difference to their health and wellbeing.”
FSH has conducted an average of 471 episodes of care to Aboriginal patients each month, for the financial year to date.
This includes patients who come to hospital more than once and those treated in multiple areas of the hospital during one hospital stay.
