"Health economists have estimated that an injection of $250 million per year in Indigenous clinical care, and $50 million in preventative care, is required to provide services at the same level as for any other group with the health conditions of Indigenous Australians"

About this Quote
This quote by Malcolm Fraser recommends that Indigenous Australians are not getting the very same level of healthcare services as other groups. He suggests that an injection of $250 million each year in Indigenous scientific care, and $50 million in preventative care, is necessary to offer services at the very same level. This is a considerable amount of cash, and it is clear that the existing level of health care services for Indigenous Australians is inadequate. Health economists have actually approximated that this amount of money is necessary to make sure that Indigenous Australians get the exact same level of healthcare services as other groups. This quote highlights the need for increased investment in Indigenous health care services in order to guarantee that Indigenous Australians receive the exact same level of healthcare as other groups.
