KIRKE, Kerry 2016
A personal account of health services in Central Australia 1965-1985. It was a time when significant improvements in Aboriginal mortality, particularly child mortality, were made. The measures introduced by paediatrician Kerry Kirke had much to do with this.
The Historical Society of the Northern Territory acknowledges the Larrakia people, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which History House stands, and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, sea, and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
