Republican Mental Health Center


The Republican Mental Health Center is one of the 4 public hospitals for the mentally disabled.
The conditions of patients in this hospital are bad and MHS does its best to protects these patients' rights to:
* Proper food
* Good Hygiene
* Contact with the family
* Provision of resources
* Control of diagnosis / drugs
and much more.
I had a meeting today with "Family and Society" which is an NGO, partner of MHS. They deal with mentally disabled people 'staying at home'. After long struggles, they were finally given 2 rooms in The Republican Mental Health Center. The funny thing is that the hospital thinks they have A LOT OF FUNDS and that they are therefore rich which is not the case. Of course they are funded by the OSI and that's fantastic but that doesn't make them exactly as rich as the hospital thinks they are. They showed me something fascinating/crazy today and I took permission to post it:
It is a formal letter from the hospital asking them for money and THANKING THEM IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
