In 2014, a study by the VA Inspector General found that 20.4 percent of community-based outpatient clinics run by the Veterans Health Administration failed to provide adequate privacy for female veterans. That number dropped to 14.3% in 2015, but still has a ways to go, according to a new report on the VA Inspector General website. The report recommended that the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA’s) acting under secretary for health, Dr. Poonam Alaigh, review and update the requirements for female veteran providers and make note of how and when those requirements are met by VA facilities.
