Melbourne's Asylum Seeker Resource Centre has released a report it says highlights a medical crisis amoung refugees Australia has exiled to Papua New Guinea.

The report followed a visit to Port Moresby last month by advocates from the centre, who also entered the decommissioned detention centre on Manus Island.

Ben Robinson Drawbridge asked the centre's Jana Favero about the health of around 630 men now in three other facilities on the island.
