Mariah Swan (from Moree) gets a kidney transplant at 18 months of age and now we visit her when she is 10 years old. Glenda Kerinuaia (from Bathurst Island) chooses to self-administer Peritoneal Dialysis so that she can participate in the cultural and family life of Tiwi Island. Essie Coffey OAM (from Brewarrina) speaks poignantly of the hardship associated with Haemodialysis. Essie tells us of her cultural dilemma in receiving a kidney transplant. Eventually with her weakened immune system, the common cold claimed her life. Renal physicians tell us what it means for Indigenous Australians living with debilitating renal disease in remote and rural communities. Written by Official Synopsis See less
