international health

Returning from China and reflecting upon my experience it made me realise that our health system is so advanced compared to a coutrny like China. We are in actual fact very lucky to be able to be part of a system that prioritises health over the economy andf everything else. You do not realise till you go overseas and work that Australia is such a lucky country to live in. We have access to the public health system which has mostly recent technology and knowledge. Quality of life is such a priority here compared to overseas where theressuch limited access to modern rehab techniques and actual therapists. It opened my eyes to the systems in place overseass as well as the status of physiotherapists overseas.

I also experienced that when i went to Borneo. We forget how lucky we are that we actually have good Doctors/ Surgeons over here who operate to make people better rather than just to make money. And also that we have physios that have done substantial good quality training rather than a 3 year diploma course
