Originally from Fiji, Dr Salma Hanif has been providing much-needed medical care to the remote NSW community of Boggabri, with just her and one other colleague providing the town's only medical service in recent years.

Along the way, Salma has had to contend with the COVID pandemic...and even a record-breaking mouse plague!

While in Boggabri, she's been undertaking advanced GP training with the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) via the Remote Vocational Training Scheme’s Targeted Recruitment program…a program that helps deliver doctors to communities of high medical workforce need.
