Doctors concerned about the major gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous healthcare have proposed a hospital dedicated to the treatment of Aboriginal patients.

The First Nations Hospital and Health Network would offer procedures and day surgeries, and include services such as endoscopy, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, dentistry and palliative care.

The doctors behind the concept are also looking at providing cancer screenings, dialysis and supported accommodation services for remote patients.

With a trial site proposed for Inala, a suburb in the south-west of Brisbane, the hospital would operate 23-24 hours a day, but at this stage not include overnight stays.
