In rural and remote communities, accessing health care can be a challenge, especially when it comes to sensitive issues like gynecological health, breast care, and mental health.
Many women may feel uncomfortable discussing these topics with a male GP, and the long travel distances to city clinics only add to the difficulty.
The RFDS Rural Women’s GP Service brings compassionate, female doctors like Dr. Susan Lewis directly to these communities, giving women the option of seeing a doctor they trust, without leaving their town.
Today, your support will ensure this essential service continues, providing regular, consistent care to those who need it most. Thank you!
