“Harmful policies of the past still affect Indigenous people today when it comes to accessing healthcare and research. We need to rebuild their trust and acknowledge the harms of the past in healthcare. That is the first step.”

Alfred Health Week’s keynote speaker Professor Karen Adams, from Monash University’s Gukwonderuk Indigenous Health Unit, today delivered a very powerful and honest address about the historic treatment of Indigenous peoples and the impacts that still has within public hospitals.

This year, 14 researchers from the Alfred Research Alliance were successful, recognising our precinct’s excellence in cardiovascular disease research.
