Doctors unite to save Medevac law
Peak medical groups are lobbying the Senate crossbench to reject the government's repeal bill
The country’s leading medical colleges and doctors’ groups have joined forces in a last-ditch attempt to save the so-called Medevac law as the Federal Government gears up to push its repeal bill through Parliament.
A joint campaign by 11 specialist colleges, including the RACGP, says the law is a “basic human right” that has improved access to healthcare for refugees and asylum-seekers on Manus Island and Nauru.
