HEALTH Minister Greg Hunt yesterday confirmed $6.1 million in funding over three years for the Central Australia Academic Health Science Centre from the Medical Research Future Fund.
The money will support better treatment and diagnosis of health challenges experienced by Indigenous Australians, he said.
The Central Australia Academic Health Science Centre is the first Aboriginal-led collaboration of its kind "and demonstrates the importance of Aboriginal community leadership in research and health improvement".
Its first priority project will be a study addressing HTLV-1 (human T-lymphotrpic virus-1) along with other research into ear and eye health, renal health and dialysis, children and maternity health.
