维多利亚州Ballarat的卫生工作者驾车超过8 000公里,并花费110小时运送病人前往墨尔本、吉隆和本迪戈的戒毒设施,因为当地缺乏成人戒毒服务,超过三个月。
Health workers in Ballarat, Victoria, have driven over 8,000 kilometers and spent 110 hours transporting patients to detox facilities in Melbourne, Geelong, and Bendigo over three months due to a lack of local adult detox services.
尽管该区域有一个青年戒毒中心和康复诊所,但该区域没有专门的成人设施,迫使护士和支助人员充当运输提供者。
Despite having a youth detox center and a rehab clinic, no dedicated adult facility exists in the region, forcing nurses and support staff to act as transport providers.
临床医生说,这转移了病人护理的时间,并造成已经负担过重的区域保健服务紧张。
Clinicians say this diverts time from patient care and strains already overburdened regional health services.
倡导者和卫生官员强调,及时在当地获得医疗戒毒对康复至关重要,并呼吁建立可持续的、基于社区的戒毒床位,以确保在区域提供公平的护理。
Advocates and health officials stress that timely, local access to medical detox is essential for recovery and call for sustainable, community-based detox beds to ensure equitable care in regional areas.
