Good afternoon,
After 9-11 tough immigration laws prevented this on a large scale basis.
Patients are often found to have other health issues discovered after they
arrive and they cant end them back until that is also treated.
In addition custodians need to accompany adolescents and often don't go back
after the child's treatment whom they are accompanying.
Any subscribers having knowledge of such organizations or individuals can
reply to <Email Address Redacted>
We have providers willing to provide complimentary treatment but no resource
for getting the candidate selected and travel coordinated thur immigration
and to the USA.
My understanding is Shriner's no longer provides this service because of the
obstacles mentioned above..
Thank you,
Anthony T. Barr
