RFDS health report reveals women in the bush likely to die 19 years before city counterparts

Women and Indigenous people living in the bush are having nearly decades of their lives shaved off due to a lack of basic health services, a new report from the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has revealed.

The Best for the Bush, Rural and Remote Health Base Line 2022 report showed women living in very remote parts of Australia were likely to die 19 years earlier than their city counterparts.
