ABORIGINAL MATERNAL INFANT HEALTH STRATEGIES

The Aboriginal Maternal Infant Health Strategies (AMIHS) is a result of the partnership between Katungul Aboriginal Corporation Regional Health and Community Services, Healthy for Life and Greater Southern Area Health Service (GSAHS). It offers pre- and post-natal care for Koori women and women with Koori babies.

AMIHS is accessible in Narooma through the Moruya District Hospital and at the Bega-based Katungul clinic. The program has been designed to provide a continuum of care for expecting mothers who have built a trusting relationship with their midwife and obstetrician. The midwife also conducts home visits up to 6 weeks after birth to offer physical support and personal care for mothers and newborns.

The program was developed to improve the quality of pregnancy care and birth outcomes in Koori women and women expecting Koori babies. AMIHS promotes a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy and provides education on parenting and family planning.

OTITIS MEDIA (GLUE EAR)

Otitis Media, also known as glue ear, is an acute or chronic middle ear infection that, if left untreated, can result in permanent hearing loss. Children from six to eighteen months may experience OM, with the infection common up until the age of four.

Katungul Aboriginal Corporation Regional Health and Community Services, in association with the Southern NSW Local Health District (SNSWLHD), has developed a program to combat otitis media through prevention, early detection and treatment. Screening for OM is held in schools from Ulladulla to Eden three times a year. The program also provides education for families and teachers.

This program has led to the establishment of the Ears, Nose and Throat (ENT) outreach clinic at Goulburn, Batemans Bay, Bega and Moruya, which is regularly attended by an ENT specialist from Westmead Children’s Hospital. Children with chronic OM are immediately transferred to the ENT clinic for further treatment.
