AGAINST OUR OATH The ethical conflicts for doctors working with
refugees and asylum seekers FILEF and COASIT invite you to a SCREENING
OF A DOCUMENTARY FEATURE FILM ON DOCTORS WORKING WITH ASYLUM SEEKERS
WHO ARRIVED IN AUSTRALIA BY BOAT AND ARE DETAINED ON THE REMOTE
PACIFIC ISLANDS OF MANUS AND NAURU. Ethical conflicts erupt as the
Australian government overrides the clinical decisions made for
refugee patients. If doctors cannot follow their medical ethics what
will happen to their patients?
The Border Force Act of July 2015 threatens with two year jail
sentences doctors who make “unauthorised disclosure” about
conditions in the camps. Many doctors are intimidated. Will the
doctors risk jail and speak out?
Q&A WILL FOLLOW. -
