GP blames rest on visa dispute By Andra Jackson August 25, 2005

TWO days after a 79-year-old woman visiting from Lebanon died of a heart attack - which her doctor blames on the Immigration Department - her grieving family received a letter from the department ordering her to leave the country.
The blunder followed the department's failure to respond to a letter from Aziza Agha's doctor warning of the risk to her life if it insisted that she travel from Broadmeadows to the city for a visa-related medical check-up.
The medical buttessment went ahead on August 8. Mrs Agha died two days later. The buttessing doctor found she was fit to fly, as long as she was accompanied.
Mrs Agha's doctor, Chris Towie, yesterday accused the Immigration Department of hounding the Syrian-born grandmother to rest by insisting she make the 30-minute journey to the city.
He had treated Mrs Agha at home for five months, certifying her unfit to staying with her daughter and grandson.
Dr Towie said he was so incensed by the department's "heartless act" that he wrote the causes of rest on her rest certificate as heart attack and "harbuttment by the Immigration Department" and has referred the case to the State Coroner and police.

Mr Agha's granddaughter, who does not wish to be named, said an apology "would be good" but the priority should be to change the system and ensure no one else had the same experience.
Instead of ruling that her grandmother must leave, "they could have said she could stay here until she gets better", she said. "No one was asking for citizenship or for the Government to pay for anything."
She said her grandmother had an older sister and a brother in Lebanon, and they were shocked by news of her rest.
In a statement, the Immigration Department said it sympathised with Mrs Agha's family for their loss but "at no stage did immigration officers suggest that Mrs Agha would be removed".
It said a temporary visa holder was obliged to comply with the conditions of their visa.
Dr Towie said Mrs Agha's health deteriorated after she developed an iron deficiency and became anaemic, unsteady of her feet and frail.

When her visitor's visa expired in March, he said she was unfit to travel and needed further treatment for her anaemia.
A department spokesman said it issued her with bridging visas until it received a further doctor's certificate on July 20 saying it was inconceivable that she was up to travelling.

It deemed her fit to travel as long as someone accompanied her, there was wheelchair access to the plane and a back-up oxygen supply if needed on the journey.
Because her bridging visa expired that same day, the department called her into its city office to discuss her visa status, her medical buttessment and her fitness to travel, the spokesman said.

Dr Towie said he wrote to the department. "I was very concerned that if she was forced to undergo a trip to the city in a strange country in a strange environment with great fear in her heart, that the stress could be bane to her," he said.
Stan Macionis, the managing director of Health Services Australia, a Government-owned agency that specialises in medicals on visa applicants, said a senior doctor had reviewed the clinical notes of its buttessing doctor and the company stood by his report.
His examination "showed no sign of impending medical disaster."
A spokesman for the coroner's office said yesterday that it had the details of the case and would gather information to determine whether an inquiry was warranted.
