Trump's Travel Ban Stalls Lifesaving Treatment for Haitian Children Who Need to Travel for Surgery
- President Donald Trump's travel ban on 19 countries, effective Monday June 8, prevents Haitian children and young adults from traveling to the U.S. for needed heart surgery.
- The ban disrupts medical missions and visa issuance amid ongoing gang violence, poverty, and the lasting impact of Haiti's 2010 earthquake that killed over 220,000 people.
- The International Cardiac Alliance maintains a waitlist of at least 316 Haitians, with only five surgical slots open and over 100 children previously treated in the U.S.
- Owen Robinson remarked the ban is "really disturbing and breaking my heart" as kids die weekly waiting and postponed surgeries may cause rapid deterioration.
- This situation highlights urgent reliance on policy changes to permit lifesaving procedures and raises concerns about future access for medically vulnerable Haitians.
