Reply to comment by ihateusednames in Indigenous people are less likely to survive the year after an ICU admission. 12 months after being admitted to intensive care, an Indigenous person is more likely to have died than a non-Indigenous person, according to Australian research. by MistWeaver80

Physical distance probably.

I don’t know if I interpreted your comment wrong but what do you mean by physical distance. Like, indigenous people are very common throughout cities and all over the world, they usually just fall under the latino community.

in Australia half of the people that live in very remote areas and 18 percent in semi remote areas are aboriginal which is high considering they only make up 3 percent of the total population. this means that many aboriginals live in remote areas and are less likely to follow up with healthcare needs since the hospital is further away or has less specialized resources.
