Health of Aboriginal People in Australia_1

1Personal ReflectionPersonal ReflectionDescriptionI spared my time in order to analyze the health condition and status of Aboriginal people who areliving in the remote area in Australia. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are people who are facing huge medical deficiency problem as they are been ignored by the Australian Government in the name of racism and caste. In a way to analyze the condition of health, I set up a camp there to deeply analyze the current situation. What I found is that aboriginals are living in very poor condition and they are even not able to get proper medical facility by the Australian authority. On the name of race and Torres Strait Islander communities are been discriminated. Communities are not getting proper health and medical facility to live healthily. It is reducing their stamina and hampering their mental status. During my analysis and study, I found that the main reason that they are been discriminated is that of their background and racism. Initially, Government of Australia is not taking any step in a way to provide the communities proper medical and health facility. As a result, many individuals are suffering from several diseases. In my analysis, I found that due to residing in a remote area they are not enougheducated to raise their voice and to approach the government again and again for their right. Feeling During the analysis, I was really shocked to know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are been discriminated by the Government of Australia in the name of Racism. While conducting the analysis and knowing the condition of Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander I become senseless and speechless as I was very much shocked and surprised to know that still Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander are been discriminated in regards to a health facility.

So for this, I feel that government should kindly look into the matter and should provide all the proper medical and health facility. Overall my study and analysis made me very sad.EvaluationMy experience throughout the analysis is quite satisfactory but it made me very sad. During and after my analysis I came to know the exact condition of the Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander people. Before my analysis, I was unaware of the living and health condition of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Through my analysis, I came to know that still Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are discriminated on the basis of racism and are called by different names such as racial slurs (Carey et al., 2017). In my analysis, I found that three out of four Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are regularly experiencing race discrimination. Especially when taking primary health care facility. This racial discrimination led many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people not able to get diagnosis and treatment for the disease (Martyn et al., 2016). Due to the racial discrimination, they are not in a position to get proper treatment and their disease is also not diagnosed at the earlier stage.My experience was good because I came to know about the actual condition of aboriginals as how they are discriminated on the basis of race. It is hampering their social status.
