Psychiatrists call for temporary mental health hospital : vi

The association of psychiatrists has described Mount Carmel Hospital as not fit for purpose and called for a temporary mental health hospital until the promised new one is built next to Mater Dei.
Concern about the state of the Attard hospital has made headlines over recent years and most of its ceilings were condemned by architects in 2019.
The spotlight was back on the hospital this week when a 20-year-old Dutch woman wrote of her eight-day experience at the facility.
“It was hell,” Belle de Jong, who was an inpatient last February, said. In a blogpost at sidestreetmalta.com, she spoke of communal showering reminiscent of German concentration camps, dirty and depressing common areas, a chaotic distribution of medication, lack of fresh air and being stripped naked for a drug check.
