At the Royal Darwin Hospital, TEABBA were invited to do a live broadcast of the NAIDOC 2024 celebrations. We spoke with many mob throughout the day, sharing stories and opinions about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and how far we have come and what we can do for better health outcomes.
There were a few other organizations in attendance such as Ask the Specialist, a cultural education podcast that answers doctors' questions about working with Aboriginal patients at Top End hospitals, and Donate Life, which seeks to increase tissue and organ donation and transplantation.
Ending the wonderful morning in true NAIDOC fashion, we were lucky enough to see the younger generations performing traditional Torres Strait dances and song lines, keeping culture strong.
Thank you to the Royal Darwin Hospital for inviting us over for a broadcast, the deadly performers and everyone that showed up! We can't wait for next years celebrations!
