Cherbourg residents who have any concerns about their respiratory health are invited to take part in the Indigenous Respiratory Outreach Care (IROC) program.
The one-day specialist respiratory clinic will be held in Cherbourg on Friday, November 7, from 8:30am to 5:00pm.
Dr Maninder Singh will conduct the clinic from 8:30am to noon at the Barambah Aboriginal Medical Service, corner of Bligh and Broadway streets, and from 1:00pm to 5:00pm at the Cherbourg Community Health Centre, Barambah Avenue, Cherbourg.
IROC program officer Marcus Pedro encouraged all residents to take advantage of the free service.
“IROC is a state-wide program aimed at improving the incidences and outcomes of respiratory diseases in Indigenous communities,” Mr Pedro said.
“Residents who have concerns about their lung health, are short of breath, have a persistent running nose or cough a lot are encouraged to attend on the day.”
The IROC Program accepts referrals from medical staff, GPs, nurses and health workers as well as self-referrals.
