Philadelphia’s Response to Afghan Evacuees During Pandemic
In a Narrative Matters article in the December issue of Health Affairs, Cheryl Bettigole, health commissioner of the city of Philadelphia, and coauthors document Philadelphia’s response to Afghan evacuees ([link removed] ) who arrived in the city following the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 (“Operation Allies Welcome”).
The authors describe their creation of a triage clinic at the Philadelphia International Airport and collaboration between government agencies, organizations like the Red Cross, Philadelphia community members, and medical and public health staff from across the city.
Evacuees were welcomed with snacks, toys, and welcome signs in multiple languages; interpreters were available to help facilitate COVID-19 testing, optional vaccinations, and other medical care and screening processes.
The authors conclude that the US should offer immigrants more compassionate, evidence-based, culturally sensitive care that treats immigrants and refugees as “potential new Americans” and not as vectors of disease.
