Iranian woman Shiva* has been waiting six months for Nauru to facilitate her medical transfer to Australia.
The reversal of the medevac laws - which gave doctors more say in the transfer of sick refugees to Australia for treatment - has sparked concerns that already approved transfers will be further delayed or blocked by the Nauruan government. Shiva came to Australia by boat in 2013 and is one of only 10 female refugees who remain on Nauru.
Doctors for Refugees founder Barri Phatarfod said the young man is in constant pain and recently sent a message to one of their doctors saying he has had fevers for the past two weeks. Medevac approvals still valid Public law lecturer at the University of Adelaide Alex Reilly said while the medevac approvals were still valid, it was an unusual situation because the now-defunct process was meant to be completed within two weeks.
"I don't believe in the promises and hollow words. No one speaks about our existence on Nauru. No one acts to end this injustice. No one answers. No one takes responsibility for our adversity."The Australian government is under pressure to ensure the Nauruan government allows people requiring emergency treatment to leave.“The set-up where a foreign nation can overrule Australia’s processes is truly mystifying and has zero transparency,” she said.
Get all the blood sucking globalists and the only collecting and siphoning money is a priority UN to fund a 150 billion dollar hospital in Nauru. CASECLOSED
Quite a number of comments from people who don't realise how lucky they are not born into a way torn country.
You're all free to go home
What a pity people commenting nastily here don't read the article. It gives details of some of the patients needing treatment & why it's not available to them on Nauru so the comments are pointless. I hope others do read & think about the situations of people like Shiva.
The hospital.
asylum seekers faking their way to Australia
What rot they get medical attention there
Maybe don't go country shopping then to begin with?
'Oh no! The government represented the people of Australia! Quick, roll out a sob story to guilt them into selling the country out instead!' We need to defund you and charge you with treason.
And all of them are sick...and brown people of Nauru do not have doctors. Do you realise how false and racist your narrative is?
Anyone know where I can buy their T-shirts? I couldn’t sleep last night and I want yo be medivac’d to the Maldives. At your expense. Jack it in SBS- you just make people angry. It’s taking the mick. And angry people vote right.
Must hit your sympathy nerve seeing them caged
They’ll be fine, they have the same medical care the local Nauruans have. These illegals should consider themselves lucky that they get free medical care at all, many deserving Australians don’t.
World class hospital on Nauru use it.
