Kimberley Medical Group is passionate about giving children in the region the best possible chance at health and wellbeing.
Unfortunately, statistics have shown that children living in the Kimberley are at a higher disadvantage when it comes to their health and wellness.
According to a 2018 report by the WA Department of Health, children aged 0-14 have a much higher rate of potentially preventable hospitalisations (PPH) from various conditions like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, asthma and diabetes. The rate of notifiable diseases such as vaccine preventable diseases, vector-borne diseases, food and water borne diseases and other infections was 4.5 times higher for Kimberley children than children in the rest of the state.
Simple check-ups can have a significant impact in preventing the onset of an illness or more complex condition.
We understand it can be very difficult, even impossible at times, to get your child checked due to the costs. Sometimes kids can even feel unwell out of the blue, or overnight, so it’s better to be safe than sorry. Any urgent health concerns can be seen at the Broome Urgent Care Clinic which operates on our premises and is open 7 days a week, including public holidays.
