Government’s medical health provider to be probed over treatment of children in detention
The federal government’s medical health provider will face the Australian Human Rights Commission inquiry into children in detention on Wednesday.
Human Rights Commission president Dr Gillian Triggs said the International Health and Medical Service (IHMS) had been widely criticised for its treatment of children living in detention centres across Australia and the offshore processing centres in Nauru and Papua New Guinea.
In one instance a girl was not provided glasses for 11 months, leaving her with a lazy eye and her eyesight in jeopardy, Dr Triggs said. Another child with a spinal deformity had not been given access to a specialist in six months.
