Torres Strait Islander Health

Torres Strait Islander Health focuses on improving the well-being of Torres Strait Islander people, who are Indigenous Australians from islands between Queensland and Papua New Guinea. It aims to address health disparities caused by factors like limited access to healthcare, cultural differences, and social inequalities. Efforts include culturally appropriate services, health education, disease prevention, and support for traditional healing practices. The goal is to ensure equitable healthcare that respects Indigenous customs and improves overall health outcomes for Torres Strait Islander communities.
