Abstract

On 24 March 2008, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, the leader of the Federal Opposition, and health sector leaders signed a pledge to close the indigenous health gap by 2030 and the equity gap in health service provision by 2018. This is a big challenge - Indigenous Australians have a life expectancy 17 years less than non-Indigenous Australians and a burden of disease 2.5 times higher.

摘要

2008年3月24日，联邦反对党领袖、总理陆克文与卫生部门领导人签署了一项承诺，要在2030年前消除原住民与非原住民之间的健康差距，并在2018年前消除卫生服务提供方面的公平差距。这是一项巨大的挑战——澳大利亚原住民的预期寿命比非原住民少17岁，疾病负担则高出2.5倍。
