About Me:
* Kidney failure affects 15,000 Australians, with 2,000 new patients requiring dialysis or a transplant each year to stay alive.
* In some remote Indigenous communities the incidence of kidney failure is:
- 30 50 times the national average
- responsible for more than one third of aboriginal deaths
* 50% of sufferers live in regions with no dialysis facilities forcing them to take long road trips sometimes twice a week or to relocate far away from their communities.
While most Australians are living longer than ever before, one in every three indigenous Australian males can expect to die before they reach the age of 55. (Oxfam Australia)
