Working together to improve vascular health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
The Kanyini Vascular Collaboration is a research program aimed at identifying and overcoming barriers to best practice chronic disease care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience a greater burden of heart disease, diabetes and kidney disease than the non-Indigenous population, and are less likely to get access to treatments. This study aims to find out why this happens and how to improve Indigenous health.
