Meera NambiarKalgoorlie Miner Four Kalgoorlie-Boulder doctors will be among 65 health professionals attending the Aboriginal Health Conference in Perth next month. Rural Health West will be

facilitating the conference on July 2-3. RHW retention services manager Gae Sawyer said when it came to Aboriginal health, the biggest challenge was access to services. “Being able to
