- Description:
- The letter is seeking support for an amendment to the Public Health Service Act to assist the Indian Health Service in recruiting physicians. The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs believes that allowing the Indian Health Service to contract with private recruitment firms will help address the shortage of health professionals in the Service. The proposed amendment is technical in nature and aims to remove legal impediments to recruitment efforts. The letter urges the Subcommittee on Health to approve the amendment for the benefit of Indian health programs.
