A woman in severe pain after suffering genital mutilation has been denied medical treatment at Nauru and a patient was discharged from the island's hospital with needles still lodged in their hands, according to damning findings by human rights researchers who gained rare access to the island.
However IHMS, the organisation contracted to provide healthcare to asylum seekers at Nauru, rejected the claims as "unsubstantiated".
