Chronically unprepared to deal with the Covid-19 crisis, the US is now turning to the world’s doctors. But does it resolve America's overall healthcare crisis?
Public health sectors across the world are under inordinate pressure amidst the unprecedented and dynamic Covid-19 outbreak, with governments across the world continuously adapting measures amidst epidemiological, economic, and social behavioural concerns.
Amid the escalating Covid-19 pandemic, the news that the US State Department was now encouraging foreign medical professionals to contact the nearest US Embassy or Consulate for a visa appointment is, in this light, not without due cause, yet certainly not without critique. Some may explain-away the predicament as merely the result of ‘globalisation’, which then opens a slew of related questions as to inequality ingrained, sustained, and in times of crisis, amplified by the phenomenon of globalisation and the nature of the global economy. Clearly, both push and pull factors must be considered together.
The development touches a further nerve when considering the flurry of anti-immigration measures the Trump administration has incited, with accusations of anti-Muslim bias and a hostility to so-called low-skilled immigration. The latter sentiment also bears some similarity with the UK’s proposed ‘points-based’ immigration system, though in both cases one hopes that the absolute necessity of low-skilled professions in times of lockdown will now be more clearly understood and appreciated.
