Dr. Cecelia O’Brien and Sonographer Angelina Caspani, the maternal-fetal medicine outreach team, have been featured by ABC News for their work delivering prenatal care and ultrasound services to remote communities in North Queensland and the Gulf of Carpentaria.
The feature, titled “Maternity team provides FIFO care for pregnant women in remote towns,” highlights the impact of the Care on Country program. Run in collaboration with CheckUP Australia and local health services, the initiative addresses the significant geographical barriers faced by expectant mothers living in regional areas.
The recognition by ABC News underscores the ongoing effort to improve clinical equity, reduce maternal health disparities, and deliver safe, specialised care directly to women in their home communities.
