During an interview on Global News, HSH Co-Managing Partner Paul Miller, representing Canadian diplomats alleging concussion-like symptoms during service at the Canadian embassy in Havana, Cuba, criticises a recently released report about the syndrome from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Paul says the study happened too long after his clients returned from Cuba. Examining patients years after they returned from postings doesn't provide an accurate picture of the injuries suffered.

American and then Canadian embassy staff, as well as their family members stationed in Havana reported suffering headaches, cognitive and vision problems in 2017.

"If a diplomat or a family member is impacted by something that happens, the Canadian government has to stop relying upon a broken worker's compensation system and actually step up and provide the treatment," Miller told Global News.
