WASHINGTON — The top State Department official overseeing the response to “Havana Syndrome” is leaving her position after only six months on the job, three officials said.
Spratlen is departing this week as the State Department faces growing questions about its response to Havana Syndrome and the care and benefits being provided to suffering employees. In recent days, Spratlen had faced a public call for her resignation, and numerous U.S. diplomats said she had lost the confidence of affected employees.
“We thank her for her service and invaluable contributions to the efforts of the Task Force,” a State Department spokesman said. “We expect to name her replacement soon.”Diplomats suffering from Havana Syndrome voiced growing dismay this month in a tense phone call with Blinken and Spratlen over continuing stigma and disbelief within the U.S. government about their injuries, more than four years after the incidents began in Cuba.
Spratlen responded by saying she had read the study but did not indicate that she agreed or disagreed with its findings — a response that sufferers on the call later described as “invalidating.”
JoshNBCNews And please stop calling this 'Havana Syndrome'. It is an incorrect term and insulting to all those who were victimized before 2016 or in different countries. No one publicly knows the connection. UHI = unknown (or unidentified) health injuries
JoshNBCNews Fact Amb Spratlen is leaving post already is significant. She literally just started few months ago. Are we to believe no one realized she might leave so soon? Respectfully, she was not very effective at all. I applaud Sec Blinken's public statements but State has far to go.
