Drawing on more than two decades of experience caring for patients, Dr. Khaled Amr serves as the medical director of the Columbus Medical Center, a position he began in 2010. Alongside this, Dr. Khaled Amr is a member of the American Medical Association (AMA), which works to improve medical care and patient outcomes, including addressing working conditions for physicians across the country.
The organization has published a wealth of resources focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, with a new video highlighting how public officials can support prison physicians, which it claims are at elevated risk of contracting the virus. The AMA suggests that their risk is heightened because of the smaller working environments, which limit the ability of individuals to practice social distancing.
In the video, which was released on May 29, the AMA says that officials must first reach out to these physicians while also including them in pandemic planning. The organization also notes that public health officials must take all necessary steps to minimize these risks.
The AMA has several other factors and support systems that could be useful, each of which is available on its website.
