“Patients and Staff of Second Class” – Plea for Athalassa Mental Health Hospital

Nursing staff at the Athalassa Mental Health Hospital are expressing serious concerns about the delay in implementing the second phase of the construction project. Nurses emphasize that the state treats patients and staff as second-class citizens, as the buildings have been deemed unsuitable and not earthquake-resistant. They demand immediate action to ensure the safety of all, while awaiting a response from OKYPY regarding the measures to be taken. There is an effort to find temporary solutions to accommodate simpler cases, but official information is still pending.
