The visit also revealed that the number of toilets and showers provided is unsatisfactory while their arrangement is problematic, especially for people with disabilities. The facilities were found to provide sufficient space per patient, light and air, but the condition of the Clinic, in particular the arrangement of the premises, was deemed unsatisfactory, as it strongly indicates its age and inoperability. Due to the arrangement of the clinic’s facilities (the building was originally designed for a purpose other than a clinic), the patient wards are far away from the staff area, thus creating a problem in monitoring the patients, especially at nights when only two nurses are on duty.

Additional sanitary areas should also be constructed to accommodate 20 patients while consideration should be given to constructing these additional sanitary areas near the patient wards in order to better serve the patients.  The patient kitchen cabinets and wardrobes should be replaced and, where necessary, add new ones. 26
