TFM Libya - Policy Clarification Note
TFM Libya - Policy Clarification Note
CLIPPED FROM ARTICLE:
Before transporting the first patient to Germany we agreed on the following points with the Libyan Ambassador in Berlin. We are still working together with our counterparts in the Embassy to activate some of the points under this agreement:
The Embassy should designate a single point of contact for the Third Party Administrator (TPA) and TFM to resolve any logistical or procedural issues faced by patients and the accompanying guardians/escorts that require coordination with the Libyan and German authorities.
The Embassy should provide regular updates to the TPA on arrivals of Libyan patients and guardians/escorts (preferably in advance).
The Embassy should maintain accurate records of Libyan patients receiving treatment in Germany and the accompanying guardians/escorts (i.e. date of entry to Germany, visa expiry date, address, contact information of relatives in Libya, etc.) and share these regularly with the TPA.
The Embassy should support the representative and/or committee nominated by the Ministry of Health/TFM to manage the TPA contract in Germany.
The Embassy should provide Libyan patients with information packets and organize social and cultural activities for out-patients and guardians/escorts.
The Embassy should respect and protect patient confidentiality, privacy, wishes and preferences, and German Law.
The Embassy should organize the local Libyan community in supporting patients and accompanying guardians/escorts in a way that complies with privacy constraints.
The Embassy should promote awareness of Libyan patients in the German media and project a positive image of Libyans living in Germany in a way that complies with privacy constraints.
The Embassy should help patients keep in touch with relatives in Libya and keep relatives of the patients informed of clinical developments in a way that complies with privacy constraints.
We have also received great deal of comments addressing the TFM’s per-diem policy, which will now be addressed. Our original policy was to pay out 35 Euros per day per patient. Considering that our contract provides for full room and board for each patient we considered that sum sufficient to cover a prudent but comfortable stay in Germany, under the assumption that a patient would spend on average 4 weeks abroad. We did not anticipate that this would be a large issue, but have already taken the feedback into consideration and are currently rolling out a new policy in Germany: 500 Euros one-time payment for clothing expenses, and 60 Euros per day. We ask for the forbearance of the general public while we apply this new policy in a fair and consistent manner across all patients. Cash-based transactions with individuals are very complicated to manage for the TFM due to our reporting and audit requirements. Please note that we have taken the public’s concerns regarding the per-diem policy to heart and have chosen to apply our new policy to the cases transferred to the Netherlands and all future transfers in Europe.
We encourage the general public to review our contractual framework in Germany (http://tfmlibya.org/en/pdf/Third-Party-Administrator-Agreement-TFM-Almeda.pdf). The contract provides for multiple layers of control. Firstly, there is a TFM appointed contract manager and he has been busy managing the proper evacuation of patients. We have a dedicated 24/7 hotline for patients and hospitals. The reporting requirements in Clause (II.e) on page 3 of the contract are very stringent. The medical and financial data for each patient are accessible in Libya via a secure on-line portal. The service provider is obliged to provide daily, weekly and monthly reports. To ensure the finances are correctly administered and as required by the TFM structures, an independent financial auditor examines all the accounts, checking on hospital invoices, ensuring government approved rates have been charged and most importantly that patients have received the medical care and rehabilitation they need. There is also a medical review and governance board that meets weekly which includes the health attaché, a representative from the Ministry of Health as well as a representative from the TFM as provided by Clause (II.a).
Furthermore we encourage the public to examine the list of hospitals in Germany—published on the Libyan German Community webpage—which includes military hospitals, top-tier university hospitals and the best private clinics. Our first consideration is quality of medical care provided and to that end we have excluded all brokers and intermediaries from the hospital selection process.
Almeda, our Third Party Administrator in Germany, is a fully owned subsidiary of Munich Reinsurance, Europe’s largest and most reputable insurance company with an equity of 23 billion Euros in 2010. Almeda is an ISO 9001:2008 certified medical assistance company and a Third Party Administrator specialized in providing medical assistance for acute cases and for the chronically ill. It has a full-time staff of 39 doctors, 110 nurses, and 75 medical transport specialists, 2 psychologists, and 52 logisticians as well as part-time staff and sub-contractors. Almeda had a turnover of 23 million Euros in 2010 and has 26,000 patients under coverage. Almeda is provider of large-scale managed care solutions, and should not be mistaken for the medical tourism companies that cater primarily for patients from the Arabian Gulf. Munich Health is also a fully owned subsidiary of Munich Reinsurance specialized in health insurance. Under the single brand Munich Health, Munich Reinsurance has brought together all of its global healthcare knowledge in insurance and reinsurance. More than 5,000 experts at 26 locations worldwide benefit from the resulting synergy potentials as they devise innovative healthcare solutions for clients and partners all over the world. Almeda developed the deployment plan for Libyan patients by leveraging Munich Health’s access and expertise.
Finally we request that the public please note that there are currently two kinds of wounded in Germany: approximately 350 case who are under TFM coverage and an unknown number transported by other mechanisms. We reaffirm our commitment to cover any case already in Germany that fits our medical criteria and is willing to abide by our policies. If any member of the public is aware of such a case then we ask them to contact us and inform us of their names and locations. The Global Healthcare Programme’s priority is to ensure that the Libyan wounded receive the best health care and treatment available. Though it is not in the TFM’s power to determine the number of patients a country is willing to accept, the Global Healthcare Programme ensures that where they are accepted their medical and financial costs are met, encouraging countries to take in greater numbers.
As Libyans, the care and welfare of our fellow Libyan wounded is a priority for all of us at the TFM. As such, we welcome the constructive feedback and suggestions of concerned Libyan citizens.

Release Time:
For Immediate Release
“The United States is committed to working with our allies, and to strengthening our own internal capabilities, in order to ensure that the United States and the international community are proactively engaged in a strategic effort to prevent mass atrocities and genocide. In the event that prevention fails, the United States will work both multilaterally and bilaterally to mobilize diplomatic, humanitarian, financial, and—in certain instances—military means to prevent and respond to genocide and mass atrocities.”
–National Security Strategy of the United States, May 2010
President Obama is committed to strengthening the United States Government’s ability to prevent mass atrocities and serious human rights violations. In 2010, he created the first-ever White House position dedicated to preventing and responding to mass atrocities and war crimes. And in Kyrgyzstan, Cote d’Ivoire, Libya, Sudan, and elsewhere, this Administration has prioritized the protection of civilians and the prevention of mass atrocity and serious human rights violations, and employed a wide range of economic, diplomatic, and other tools in service of those ends.
Today, President Obama is directing a comprehensive review to strengthen the United States’ ability to prevent mass atrocities. The President’s directive creates an important new tool in this effort, establishing a standing interagency Atrocities Prevention Board with the authority to develop prevention strategies and to ensure that concerns are elevated for senior decision-making so that we are better able to work with our allies and partners to be responsive to early warning signs and prevent potential atrocities. Today he is also issuing a proclamation that, for the first time, explicitly bars entry into the United States of persons who organize or participate in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and serious violations of human rights.
The Presidential Directive on Mass Atrocities, Presidential Study Directive-10 (PSD-10), is innovative and significant in several respects:
Presidential Prioritization. In PSD-10, President Obama finds that: “Preventing mass atrocities and genocide is a core national security interest and a core moral responsibility of the United States of America.” He directs agencies to participate in a comprehensive assessment, led by the National Security Advisor, of how best to accomplish this national security imperative.
Organization Matters. The President notes that, “66 years since the Holocaust and 17 years after Rwanda, the United States still lacks a comprehensive policy framework and a corresponding interagency mechanism for preventing and responding to mass atrocities and genocide.” The President orders the creation of an interagency Atrocity Prevention Board within 120 days from today so as to coordinate a whole-of-government approach to engaging “early, proactively, and decisively.”
Full Toolbox. The President rejects the idea that, in the face of mass atrocity, our options are “limited to either sending in the military or standing by and doing nothing.” He instructs his Administration to undertake a 100-day review – to take an “inventory” of the full range of economic, diplomatic, and other tools available to U.S. policymakers; to develop the appropriate governmental organization to try to ensure early and less costly preventive action; to improve the collection and processing of indicators of mass atrocity; to provide a channel for dissent to be raised during a crisis; and to appropriately train and prepare our diplomats, armed services, development professionals, and others.
A Global Responsibility. The directive recognizes that preventing mass atrocities is a responsibility that all nations share. Often other countries are better positioned than the United States to respond to particular crises or potential atrocities. Recognizing that the burden for preventing mass atrocities must be appropriately shared by other countries, the directive calls for a strategy for engaging key regional allies and partners so that they are prepared to accept greater responsibility for preventing and responding to crimes against humanity.
The President’s proclamation makes two key contributions:
Closing gaps. The United States has long sought to ensure that our country does not become a safe haven for human rights violators or those responsible for other atrocities. Existing U.S. law renders certain human rights violators inadmissible to the United States – such as participants in genocide, torture, extra-judicial killings, or certain violations of religious freedom. However, before today, the United States did not have an explicit bar to admission on the basis of participation in serious violations of human rights or humanitarian law or other atrocities that do not otherwise fit into those categories specifically enumerated in the Immigration and Nationality Act. This proclamation fills this gap by expanding the grounds for denial of entry into the United States to cover a broader array of recognized violations of international humanitarian law and international criminal law, such as war crimes and crimes against humanity. The proclamation will also cover participants in serious human rights violations, such as prolonged arbitrary detention, forced disappearances, slavery, and forced labor, as well as participants in widespread or systematic violence against civilians based on ethnicity or other grounds.
New deterrent. By enumerating these grounds for denying admission to the United States, policymakers will have a new tool to deter would-be organizers of atrocities, serious human rights violations, and related abuses. The President’s proclamation empowers the United States to warn groups that have carried out, or may be about to carry out, serious human rights violations or grave atrocities that their conduct falls within explicit standing bans on admission to the United States. As such, we will be able to more effectively shame those who are organizing such conduct. The proclamation also bans admission to the United States for those who are complicit in organizing these abuses – not just those who carry them out. As such, it allows the United States to act before planned abuses and atrocities metastasize into actual ones.
The proclamation is being issued pursuant to the President’s authority under Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which authorizes the President to suspend entry into the United States of aliens whose entry “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.” There are currently seventeen 212(f) proclamations in effect, including Proclamation 8342 (2009), which suspends entry to foreign government officials responsible for failing to combat human trafficking, and Proclamation 7750 (2004), which suspends entry of persons engaged in or benefiting from corruption.
