Milikapiti Health Centre (often referred to as Milikapiti Hospital) is a remote healthcare facility located on Melville Island in the Northern Territory's Tiwi Islands. While it is a health center rather than a full hospital, it provides primary healthcare services to the local Aboriginal community, including general medical care, chronic disease management, and emergency treatment. The facility is relatively small, with no inpatient beds, and patients needing advanced care are typically transferred to larger hospitals on the mainland, like the Royal Darwin Hospital.
Fun fact about Milikapiti: Milikapiti is renowned for its vibrant art scene, with many talented Tiwi artists producing traditional Tiwi art, including paintings, carvings, and ceramics. The community has an art center where locals can create and sell their work, contributing to the preservation and promotion of Tiwi cultural heritage.
