MARK COLVIN: A report by the Australian Medical Association paints a gloomy picture of the health of Indigenous mothers and their babies. Indigenous babies are more than twice as likely than non-Indigenous babies to be born premature or underweight. But among the tragic statistics, there are some success stories. In Townsville, a unique program, called Mums and Babies, is having a huge impact on the number of infants who survive their first few years. But for this small team, success is bringing its challenges. The demand is now greater than ever.

Lisa Millar reports. Karaoke Dvd Burner-Keygen. LISA MILLAR: Robyn Haynes shares many of the worries of new mums. She has a two year old daughter and is expecting another child in three months, but she's taking part in a ground breaking project in Townsville in North Queensland; one that's determined to improve the health of her children. ROBYN HAYNES: How it's helped me, personally, is thethey've got the different people who do like you're breast-feeding, the baby gets weighed, then you've got your nurses who give you the needles.

It's individually divided and that's what I like about it you know, like they've got a person for every section of it. LISA MILLAR: The Mums and Babies program has been running for four years, a small team of health workers and doctors running clinics every morning for young families and pregnant women.

It's improved the access to antenatal care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Fifty per cent are now seeking medical care during their first trimester, the number of visits to a doctor per pregnancy has doubled and the percentage of pregnancies ending in safe and successful births has also doubled. Robyn Haynes' partner, Michael Illin, says the clinic has been a blessing.

Going to the local public hospital has made them feel uncomfortable. MICHAEL ILLIN: If the TAIHS (Townsville Aboriginal and Islanders Health Service) Mums and Babies program wasn't around or available, I think it'd be very intimidating to Indigenous mothers to go to the mainstream hospital. We feel that because it was in the one office space, the Mums and Babies unit is in its own block of its own, we feel that we were getting cared for and there was it felt as though there was a lot more commitment by the workers there. LISA MILLAR: Dr Katie Panaretto is one of the doctors who's been involved with the project from the start. KATIE PANARETTO: Yeah, the program, initially there was, you know, a lot of scepticism about whether it would work and whether - we did get private funding initially - and so you know, was it just going to fall over once the funding stopped, but the program has been very successful. We started outthe first year we saw 40 pregnant women, now we see over 200 pregnant women a year and the quality of the service that we deliver has been a real source of pride to the whole organisation and the staff.
