Boost for indigenous health

One of Australia's most generous benefactors has provided a $10 million endowment to Adelaide's Flinders University to create health centres for training more Aboriginal health professionals and researching indigenous health issues.
Greg Poche, a multimillionaire who made his fortune in the transport industry, launched the two new centres on Monday. They will be based in Adelaide and Alice Springs.
They follow the first Poche Centre for Indigenous Health, which was set up in 2008, when Mr Poche donated $10m to the University of Sydney.
Mr Poche said he hoped more centres would be established in association with universities in Western Australia and Queensland, making the project to improve indigenous health a national initiative. "There needs to be a new approach and we think we're finding the way to a new approach," he said.
