Disease in migrants in Panama

 

WaPo article about an 8 year old who died shortly after entering the USA. LINKThe Harlingen, Tex., border station where Anadith and her family were held — designated by CBP for medical isolation cases — had a list of on-call doctors and pediatricians that was used so seldom it was “out of date,” according to Wolfe’s memo.

uh, that is what the PHS was originally founded to do. Most IHS are now in the IHS (INdian health service) but when the Mariel Boat lift occured, some of our staff was posted to Florida to care for migrants.

Indeed, the article does note that after the death, "Anadith’s death prompted CBP to remove chief medical officer David Tarantino last week and place U.S. border facilities under the supervision of DHS medical officials and a team of uniformed doctors from the U.S. Public Health Service. Doctors from the Health Service have deployed to CBP facilities along the border to help provide care and make recommendations for additional improvements, according to CBP’s Miller.
