denounce humiliated and abused inmates in mental institutions. Natalia Buira The Civil Defender filed a collective Amparo reported serious violations of human rights of persons with mental disabilities.
Among the serious violations, said there Buira sexual abuse of inmates of institutions provincial mental. He also said that not respecting their rights to freedom and movement, and that patients are being held in solitary confinement.
Finally, the Civil Advocate denounced the lack of medical controls, and patients received ridicule from the employees of these institutions, which put them nicknames internados.Consultada ridicule to respect, Claudia Román Ru, secretary mental health and addictions, said he is unaware of any cases like that Buira complaint, although they admitted the lack of budget allocated to the sector.
Given this lack of public policies ensure the integrity of these people, it is impossible not to compare the reality of Salta in mental health with the situation in Argentina and San Luis provinces. There, Jorge Pellegrini the current deputy governor of the province of San Luis, who is a psychiatrist, he devised and carried out the most important revolution in the field of Mental Health in our country.
is the "Theory of Freedom", which raises Pellegrini "institutional transformation", explaining that "it is true that the asylums take less money than institutional change because, for example, hotel management those deposited in the Borda and Moyano, I mean the country, $ 1,000 each per month. " In this regard, pellegrini states: "I think it's okay to legislate to protect rights but the mental health legislation must take into account the national reality, if you really want to do a law is operative.
Another point is that you actually know what is the Argentina health for policy making and general bills and provincial laws are characterized by a complete ignorance of the health situation in Argentina and then before long these laws beautiful become a dead letter. "The average length of stay mentally ill in the country is seven years, according for National Statistics 2000. Pelleginio analyzes this statistic: "When a madman is the insane asylum, seven years ago he was boarding there, what does this have medical grounds? What scientific basis for this? Why would he served? What treatment they did in those seven years? How many hospital directors went through there? How many psychiatrists, psychologists and nurses treated him? How much of psychotropic drugs ingested during those seven years? What social resources during the seven years he lost? In this regard, Di Nano, coordinator of Mental Health Ministry Office, coincides with that of other prominent colleagues in the area: "San Luis is an example that we see with joy and want to play."
would be nice if our province also intends to play the example of San Luis, driving a deep debate on this complex issue. For now, the state must take urgent measures to provide protection to people found in the provincial mental institutions, and who are victims of abuse and humiliation.
