Health services are delivered by a range of integrated
facilities located across the region. Hospitals at Derby, Broome,
Halls Creek, Wyndham, Fitzroy Crossing and Kununurra are
complemented by community clinics, which exist in many remote
localities. The region has access to a range of specialist services
including aged care facilities and rehabilitation services.
The Commonwealth Department of Health and
Ageing maintains an office in Broome and
the Western Australian Health
Department has administrative offices in Derby and
Broome.
A significant upgrade to the Broome Hospital has recently been
completed and includes the establishment of a new emergency
department, doctors' consultancy areas, x-ray and pathology rooms
and allied health areas.
A number of independent community health organisations also deliver
targeted services into some of the remote communities across the
region.
The Royal
Flying Doctor Service Kimberley base at Derby conducts
routine clinical and medical consultations in remote communities
and pastoral properties. It also provides a 24 hour emergency
aero-medical service across the region.
