Breaking news: Doctors of the World UK is today intervening in an important case at the High Court, on denying healthcare to people living in the UK without immigration status.
Our Head of Policy and Advocacy, Anna Miller, and Head of Services, Amardeep Kamboz are at the High Court. DOTW are represented by @BhattMurphy @DoughtyStPublic and @Landmark_LC.
DOTW has been granted permission to intervene in this judicial review that challenges the lawfulness of an NHS Trust’s decision to deny scheduled haemodialysis under the NHS (Charging of Overseas Visitors) Regulations 2017.
Doctors of the World hopes the case will provide clarity on the application of the Charging Regulations to ensure that people with serious medical conditions who are living and settled in the UK are not denied the urgent healthcare they need.
More news as it emerges throughout the day.

This is the desperate situation facing refugee families trapped on Lesvos. 👇

The govt has provided temp housing to some of the over 12k people displaced by fires at #MoriaCamp.

But at least 5k people remain stranded on the street without proper shelter & winter is coming. Image
There are many vulnerable people on the island – pregnant women, positive or suspected #COVID19 cases, people with chronic health conditions, & people who’ve experienced trauma.

Ensuring those in immediate need of assistance get medical care is a priority for our team on Lesvos. Image
But their job hasn't been made easy.

Our staff have repeatedly been denied access to Moria camp, as well as the overflow site, Kara Tepe, so have been forced to examine patients on the road. Image

Hindi: इन कठिन समय में अपने परिवार तथा मित्रों से दूर रहते हुए चिंतित अथवा तनावग्रस्त महसूस करना आम बात है।

यह सचमुच जरूरी है कि हम यथा संभव अपने स्वास्थ्य तथा कल्याण का ध्यान रखें।

Today is World Humanitarian Day.

It's an opportunity to honour those who face danger & adversity in order to help others.

Wafaa, our head of mission in #Yemen, is one of the #RealLifeHeroes to whom we wish to pay tribute.

A Yemeni citizen, she bears witness to the deteriorating humanitarian, health & economic situation of her country & helps her fellow citizens every day.

This year, #WorldHumanitarianDay falls during a global pandemic.

In #Yemen, lack of access & government restrictions mean communities, civil society & local NGOs are the front line responders.
