Born two weeks early, six-month-old Braxton Lewis’ entry to the world could have been vastly different if not for a service dedicated to improving pregnancy outcomes for Aboriginal women in WA’s East Pilbara.

Research

Respiratory infection and wheezing illness are leading causes of hospitalisation in childhood, placing a significant burden on families and healthcare systems. However, reliably distinguishing children at risk of developing persistent disease from those likely to outgrow their symptoms remains a clinical challenge. Earlier identification would allow clinicians to focus care and resources on those most likely to benefit from long-term management, while reducing anxiety and uncertainty about the future for families.
