Ethical conflicts erupt for doctors when the Australian government overrides their clinical decisions made for refugee patients, held on Manus Island and Nauru.
The government believes following doctors’ orders to transfer critically ill patients to specialist care in Australia would weaken Australia’s border protection system.

If doctors cannot follow the ethics their profession is bound to, what will happen to their patients? Herein lies the extraordinary conflict
of medical ethics versus politics that is playing out for medical professionals in Australia today.
