Amnesty International says Australia has drastically reduced healthcare for refugees it detains in Papua New Guinea.

In a report titled 'Health Care Cuts,' the human rights watchdog outlines the reduction in health services available to refugees since being moved from the Manus Island detention centre to three smaller facilities on the island in November.

Ben Robinson Drawbridge spoke with Amnesty International researcher Kate Schuetze.
