These specialists realised there were gaps in menopause and other women's health issues in regional South Australia. Now people travel to see them.
Ms Eske , with colleague Kloey Tanner, says a shortage of women's health services has been common in her decade of work.Despite its small population, Renmark in regional SA is bucking the trend and has doctors specialising in women's health services.For many Australians, going through menopause can often be an isolating and distressing time.
Dr Sims, along with multiple health professionals in South Australia's Riverland region, have made it their mission to change the current narrative of regional women's health. National Rural Health Alliance chief executive Susi Tegen has lived and worked in rural and remote Australia for most of her working life and said it was difficult to achieve equitable services.
"We need to flip the discussion, we know that every Australian pays their taxes and their Medicare levy, they contribute to the economy and they also deserve the care seen by their metropolitan counterparts."Both Dr Sims and Ms Eske are hopeful the availability of specialist services in the Riverland does not remain an exception to the rule across regional Australia.
