United States
The website reports that delays in extending visas for foreign doctors in the US have negatively impacted the healthcare system, leading to a shortage of qualified personnel and potential reduced access to medical care.
The claims regarding the impact of visa delays on the U.S. healthcare system are largely supported by multiple sources. Visa processing delays for foreign doctors have been shown to exacerbate staffing shortages, particularly in rural and low-income areas, and contribute to broader healthcare access issues. The suspension of visa extensions for citizens of 39 countries is confirmed by official sources. However, specific claims about the forced termination of doctors' professional activities and the exact number of Americans affected by reduced access to care are less directly substantiated. Overall, the evidence supports the claims with varying degrees of certainty, reflecting the complexity of the issue.

The suspension of visa extensions led to the forced termination of professional activity by doctors who have been living in the United States for a long time.
Evidence suggests that visa revocation can lead to termination of professional activities, but specific cases of long-term doctors being forced to stop working due to recent suspensions are not directly confirmed. The evidence is indirect and not conclusive.
