WA AMA president Dr Andrew Miller is to refer two high ranking health officials to AHPRA over their handling of the death of Aishwarya Aswath, as healthcare workers plan to rally to call on the government to fix systemic problems in the state’s EDs.

Dr Miller says the AMA was sending correspondence to AHPRA on Monday, on Perth Children’s Hospital chief executive Dr Aresh Anwar and WA health department director general Dr David Russell-Weisz.
