Medical care in immigration detention

Medical care in immigration detention refers to the healthcare services provided to individuals held in detention centers while their immigration status is being processed. These facilities are required to offer basic medical services, including routine check-ups, emergency care, and treatment for chronic conditions. However, access to quality care can vary significantly, with reports of inadequate treatment, delays, and limited resources. Advocates emphasize the importance of proper medical attention to ensure the health and dignity of detainees, often calling for reforms to improve the standards of care provided in these facilities.
