South Steyne Medical Centre wishes to remind people of the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people during the 20th century, when Indigenous children – known today as the Stolen Generations – were forcibly taken from their families.

We would like to remind our patients to appreciate that this day may be sensitive for many people.

SSMC proudly provides an equal and culturally safe environment for all patients, as part of our mission to provide high quality healthcare to all.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a disease that is often not talked about openly.

This year, World IBD Day is focussing on educating people on what IBD is and how to live with it.

Being able to manage a disease is closely linked with being able to acknowledge it within your community, that’s why this year we are using the hashtag #breakthesilence.

If you have any questions about IBD, speak with your doctor when you next visit them. You can book with one of our doctors by clicking here.
