Healthcare ‘reduced’ for refugees held in Papua New Guinea

Amnesty International outlines in a report the reduction in medical services available to refugees since being moved from Manus Island detention centre to three smaller facilities on the island in November.

Australia has drastically reduced healthcare for refugees detained in Papua New Guinea, human rights watchdog Amnesty International says in a report titled Health Care Cuts.

Amnesty says that is putting their lives at risk and is calling for an end to the island’s detention programme.
