Victims Again: Litigation Ends on the US Public Health Service Syphilis Studies in Guatemala
No full textA US Public Health Service study conducted after World War II led to a research scandal involving the intentional infection of 1300 Guatemalans with syphilis and other STIs. That news initially prompted an apology by President Obama to the President of Guatemala and an investigative report from the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. Despite promises from the US Department of Health and Human Services to invest $1.8 million to “improve the treatment and prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases,” there is no record that such funding nor any money to compensate the families of people victimized in the research debacle has reached Guatemala. Litigation followed public disclosures. This article analyzes the litigation and explores the likelihood that this lawsuit may represent another episode in the re-victimization of people in Guatemala who still await redress for the wrongs done to their families more than 70 years ago

Health Law Partnership 20th Anniversary: Getting the HeLP for People in Need: Funding MLP Legal Services as Health Care
No full text2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the Health Law Partnership (HeLP), a medical-legal partnership (MLP) among Georgia State College of Law, Atlanta Legal Aid Society, and Children\u27s Healthcare of Atlanta. In MLPs, clinicians, lawyers, and allied professionals work together to address structural, health-harming conditions to improve the health and well-being of patients. For example, the pattern of a child whose asthma is aggravated by mold in the home, resulting in multiple medical visits, will not improve without resolving the mold exposure. Legal services can achieve this outcome. Despite research demonstrating the positive impacts of MLP services on health, as well as health care costs, MLP services are not routinely paid for as part of health care. This panel will consider the role and impact of MLPs in caring for patients, explore promising models for funding MLP services, and identify strategies for expanding MLPs in Georgia and nationally to realize the full benefits MLPs offer
