Every individual deserves timely and local access to critical healthcare services. However, many of our fellow Queensland residents in the Darling Downs Health Service area face challenges accessing urgent Ophthalmological Care. Presently, they have to undertake a strenuous journey to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane. This not only escalates medical costs but also adds unnecessary stress and inconvenience for both the patients and their loved ones.
