Reflecting on Fairfield Hospital

In light of World AIDS Day on December 1, we’re talking about Fairfield Hospital 40 years on from the first patient with HIV/AIDS being admitted there. The hospital closed in 1996 but it played a central role in the response to HIV/AIDS in Victoria. In our first of two episodes discussing Fairfield’s impact, we’re joined by Liz Crock and Bill O’Loughlin.
