Reorganization of the medical
complex into a branch of
TSPE “Oblast narcological
rehabilitation center” under
the Health department of
the Akim of Akmola province
led the healthcare institution
which dates back to 1982
to the verge of closure,
despite it being a townforming government medical
institution that provides
stable employment to 105
people. The reorganization
was caused by the outflow
of a significant portion of
healthcare personnel which
led to increased psychological
and physical pressure on
the remaining healthcare
professionals, abolishment of
payment for night shifts and
reduction of salaries. Since
this institution is located
in a “dead end” quite far
from the oblast narcological
center (more than 400 kms),
its transfer to the Selety
settlement, an administrative
unit of the Eremeytaussky
district, led to its degradation
whereas its deprivation of its
legal and financial autonomy
dooms it to a slow extinction.
There
are
difficulties
related to any decision
CONSOLIDATED REPORT
including economic issues
and the treatment process.
NPM participants note that it
would be more reasonable to
give back its autonomy to this
institution.
Psychiatric hospitals
During
visits
to
various
psychiatric
and
neuropsychiatric institutions,
the NPM members identified
various problems that need
to be resolved.
It should be noted that
the number of violations
of
patients’
rights
in
Almaty region is very much
bewildering, despite the
existence of the Republican
Scientific
and
Practical
Center for Mental Health
there
(Almaty),
whose
management positions itself
as the followers of the leading
scientific community in the
treatment of mental illness.
In particular, the following
violations were detected in
the Republican Scientific and
Practical Center for Mental
Health in Almaty: lack of
legally guaranteed rights
for telephone calls, absence
of walks in the winter as a
violation of human rights
