We can provide care when others cannot: late nights, early mornings, weekends and public holidays. DAHD is also a qualified Medical deputising service, meaning that our doctors are qualified to deal with medical emergencies and ambulance dispatching.

When a doctor is dispatched, patients are encouraged to stay in contact with our call centre service in order to provide updates and comfort, and at no point should you ever hesitate to call. After the doctor sees you, your diagnosis and details of your visit can then be sent to your regular GP or specialist.

Introducing

Dr. Joseph Elengikal Domini

MBBS Md dNB FANzcA DCh FACRR M (completing)

Principal Doctor After Hour Services

FRASER Shores Medical Centre has recently welcomed Dr Joseph Elengikal Domini to their after-hours team.

Dr Domini has a wealth of knowledge and experience, particularly in Indigenous health, after spending the past 10 years in Alice Springs.

Dr Domini moved to Hervey Bay six months ago after accepting a role as a consultant in the Anaesthetics department of Hervey Bay Hospital.

He said the move was prompted by his daughter who got accepted into medical school at James Cook University, Townsville.

“The bond held me in Alice Springs for 10 years, but my daughter is studying medicine at James Cook University, so we decided to move from Alice Springs to be closer to her,” Dr Domini said.

“I thoroughly enjoyed looking after the Indigenous population.

“It’s very hard for them to get seen by an experienced medical practitioner…

“However, consulting in the Anaesthetics department at Hervey Bay Hospital gives me the same satisfaction I felt in Alice Springs.”

Dr Domini will join his wife who also works at Fraser Shores Medical Centre as a GP dermatologist.

He said the region was in need for an afterhour emergency service to accommodate those who couldn’t attend a general practitioner during regular hours.

“What I found in most of the patient population is a need for an after-hour service for those who work full time or have small children and can’t come in during usual hours,” Dr Domini said.

“The after-hours service will alleviate these issues.”

Hervey Bay’s beaches and climate has eased the move for Dr Domini, who said although it took a while to acclimatise, loves the region and the people.

History of stary oskol.

In 1300, there was a village called Ugly on the the territory of the present city. Today, it is one of the districts of Stary Oskol. At that time, the village was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and was a border crossing point on the border with the Golden Horde.

The settlement of Oskol was founded by Russian Tsar Fyodor Ioanovich’s order (Ivan’s the Terrible son) to protect the southern borders of the Russian kingdom in 1593. The bulk of the population were peasants and the military.

In 1617, the town was burned by the Poles. In 1625, 1642 and 1677, the Crimean Tatars approached Stary Oskol, but could not capture it. The town was renamed Stary Oskol (meaning Old Oskol) in 1655, when the town of Tsaryov-Alexeyev, located down the river, was renamed Novy Oskol (New Oskol). Fortifications of the town existed until the 18th century.

More Historical Facts…

Gradually, Stary Oskol turned into peaceful, commercial and merchant town - the center of an agricultural district. Industrial production was represented mainly by enterprises on processing agricultural products.

In 1780, the town got its coat of arms. In 1784, Stary Oskol like most Russian towns of that time was rebuilt according to a new plan signed by Empress Catherine II. A large number of brick houses were built, mostly two-story buildings. The historic center of Stary Oskol has been preserved to our time.

In the second half of the 19th century, the town had a wide network of schools, libraries, reading rooms, printing, secondary schools. In 1894, construction of the railway began, trade and industry began to develop rapidly.

Until the 1930s, there were eleven Orthodox churches in Stary Oskol. During the Second World War, Stary Oskol was occupied by the Germans from July 2, 1942 to February 5, 1943. In 1954, the city became part of the newly formed Belgorod region.

In the late 1960s - early 1970s, in connection with the active development of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (the most powerful iron ore basin in the world), Stary Oskol became a major center of iron and steel industry.

Stary Oskol was declared a city of three top-priority Komsomol construction projects. The largest enterprises: Lebedinsky Mining and Processing Plant, Stoilensky Mining and Processing Plant, Oskolsky Electrometallurgical Plant became not only the city-forming enterprises, but also the largest industrial enterprises of the country. Stary Oskol experienced a new birth.

Today, Stary Oskol is a rapidly developing city, one of the leading mining and metallurgical centers of Russia.
