During the visit conducted to Ganja City Psychiatric Hospital it was determined that the building of the establishment was constructed in 1935 and the last time was capitally renovated in 1982, and current repair works in the establishment were conducted with the internal funds of the establishment and aids received from humanitarian organizations. As informed by the establishment, very little financing was allocated for the nutrition of patients, which did not allow to provide patients with quality food on a daily basis, and consequently hindered their treatment and psychological rehabilitation. Moreover, the shortage of medicine necessary for the treatment of patients also remained as a problem. Because there were a few specialized doctors in the establishment, every 15 patients were treated by 1 doctor, which contradicted the requirements of the standards in force and decreased the efficiency of treatment. Since the position of radiologist was vacant in the establishment, the X-ray room did not function. During the visit it was also revealed that the conditions of the sanitary facilities and bathrooms of the 2 units intended for male patients were unsatisfactory, and 2 units were heated by the centralized heating system and the other 2 with various electrical devices. Alongside with the aforementioned, the operation of music, drawing, sewing, and sport circles in the establishment, as well as the existence of a worshipping room, table games, and outdoor volleyball court, and installation of mail boxes in each unit are highly appreciated. It should be noted that during the NPG’s visit to Mingachevir Psycho-Neurological Dispensary it was determined that the daily food norm and expenses for medicine allocated for patients did not meet the demand. Generally, that the persons kept in the relevant hospitals without permission to leave at will stay indoors all day long is one of the issues causing the Commissioner’s concern. The Commissioner also delivering a speech at the discussion of the draft budget for the next year at the Parliament of the Republic of Azerbaijan, proposed to increase the funds intended for the nutrition and treatment of patients in a hospital during a day. 32
