Watch: The patient’s numbers at the National Health Institutes Hospital stumble after Trump discounts

The government documents that KFF Health News indicate a decrease in patients receiving care this year at the National Institutes of the Famous Research of National Institutes, a 200 -bed facility at the NIH headquarters in Maryland.

we I mentioned earlier A decrease in the number of patients treated in the clinical center of national knowledge from February to April. Since then, we have received newer data showing that the decline has continued.

As of mid -August, the average daily number of patients treated in the hospital was about 60 years. There has been a fixed decrease since February, coinciding with the mass shootings of the Trump administration of government employees, its widespread repression of migration, and struck scientific research.

In contrast, last October, about 80 patients per day, on average, were in the hospital, as the documents appear.

The current and previous government workers cite multiple reasons for decline. Inventory the migration of doctors, scientists and other employees the number of people who can be treated. Researchers leave, which means that they do not recruit patients to come to the National Health Institutes of Experiences.

The workers say that it is likely to be fewer patients who lack the legal status in the United States looking for care at the National Institutes of Health. This is due to the immigration policies run by the Trump administration and the rules of the federal government that are the most strict of visitors from abroad.

In a statement, HHS Andrew Nixon spokesman said that the low number of patients is “continuous for years” and the clinical center “remains completely and continues to provide clinical research on a global level and patient care.”
