"Free health care"

About: Wonthaggi Hospital / Post Acute Care

(as a relative),

I just wanted to say what a fabulous health system we have in this country. My mother was in ICU in a coma (at Monash) for 2 weeks and in hospital for 4 weeks altogether. After her discharge, we were made aware that due to her acute health issues she was entitled to 4 weeks post acute care.

We are so appreciative that we live in a country that provides free health care for all its residents. It seems to me that staff are overworked, and no doubt underpaid, but you would never know by their demeanor. My mother was treated with dignity by the friendly staff at both Wonthaggi and Monash Hospitals and the person who did the Post Acute Care. A big thank you from our family for taking such fabulous care of our beautiful mother.

Kudos to you all.

Dear doradojb38,

What a lovely post! It is very true that Victoria has a great health system and it is such a great thing that it is accessible. There is no doubt that the Pandemic has made things tricky over the past weeks and months but that's happening across the world and you are living proof that despite the huge increases in numbers, and respiratory illnesses, the system still works! I wish you well for your recovery and thanks for giving a shout out to our healthcare workers. Positive feedback from our community is worth gold in times of distress.:)

Kind Regards, Jan
