The Inter-Tribal Council's Concern for Housing and Health Care

The letter discusses the shortage of doctors available to staff hospitals serving Indian people, and the negative impact this is having on the provision of healthcare to them. It cites testimony from a recent hearing on the issue, which revealed that the main reasons doctors are leaving the Indian Health Service are insufficient and overcrowded facilities, inadequate support staff, and lack of needed equipment. The letter urges the recipient to take action to address these problems.
