Health authorities in NSW must do more to protect Aboriginal children in remote communities from “diseases of poverty”, a coroner has warned. Kia Shillingsworth was four when she was rushed to Brewarrina Hospital in the NSW far northwest on October 29, 2012. Kia had been active that morning but by the afternoon was coughing, wheezing, lethargic and running a temperature. By 9pm, Kia was coughing blood and specialist crews were rushed to her hospital bedside by midnight. She was pronounced dead around 2am.
