Answer»

Somalia has experienced war and environmental issues for the last four decades. Mental Health and/or Illness is disregarded as an UNMENTIONABLE disease with the sufferers being treated as if they are no better than an animal, chained and locked away so that no-one may see them. There are Mental Health Facilities which have been used as a dumping ground for anyone that the community may see as undesirable. Recently documented in the European Union, Essential Package of Health Services, Somaliland (2009) is that ‘Mental Health’ should be streamlined across all levels of the Health System. This is a desired aim, but currently there is not the financial and/or technical capacity to perform this goal. This requires input from all AGENCIES to DEVELOP and champion the mainstreaming of mental health care. My Project focuses on the Mental Health Ward, of Hargeisa Group Hospital where I am presently working as the Gruppo per le Relazioni Transculturali (GRT) Mental Health Project Manager, Mental Health Program, in Somalia. This ward was OPENED in 1971 by the then President of Somalia Mohamed Siyad Bare. It contains 62 beds, both male and female, large grounds that surround both sides with an administration building separating the wards. The care is present to some degree but the quality is non-existent, and along with chaining being used as the method used to restrain the patients. Furthermore the inpatients are locked away in cell like rooms with no access to sunlight. No, regular hygiene practices transpire as well as no bed linen or mattresses are provided. Human rights violations of a person with a disability occur every day as evidenced by the staffs’ demonstration of complacency in his/her ACTIONS. As detailed in the article written by Drew & Funk et al (2011) stigma and discrimination lead to pervasive human rights violation against people with mental and psychosocial disabilities in lowincome countries and human rights violations span basic civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. Of the key messages identified within this article, the two major concerns in the healthcare context that are pertinent to my project are that users of the service experience difficulty accessing the facility and if ones succeeds here then the user experiences ill treatment and abuse by the workers and/or other users. Based on my findings upon completion of the assessment my International Law Society (ILS) Project for 2011-2012 will institute minimum standards within the Mental Health Ward of Hargeisa Group Hospital by developing a ‘Best practice of Minimum Standards & Service Delivery Manual’ with reference to United Nations-Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities’ (UN-CRPD). The methodology used will be the ‘WHO Quality Rights Toolkit’ which will provide the foundation for the Manual. It is important to mention here that Somalia has not signed the UN-CRPD.
