Our
member Dimitris Voutsinos had the pleasure of making some lobbying on
KEPEP case on July 13. He joined a seminar about
deinstitutionalization (DI) which was organized by the Ministry of
Health.
During
the seminar Dimitris Voutsinos had the opportunity to raise the
attention for:
-The need for open institutions
-The need for a stop to new admissions in these institutions
-The opportunity to take advantage of the other experience and knowhow other EU countries have had on DI through interstate collaboration, like in the case of reform of Psychiatric Institutions in Greece.
