Current Affairs MDAC to challenge use of caged beds in Czech institutions in court
The international Mental Disability Advocacy Centre (MDAC) wants to take the Czech Republic to court. The centre, an NGO promoting and protecting the interests of people with mental health problems, hopes to challenge the use of caged beds in Czech psychiatric wards and institutions. Caged beds are in use in the Czech Republic to restrain patients with mental disabilities. Although their use has been banned in Czech hospitals, they continue to be common in residential homes that are battling with low staff numbers and a severe lack of funding. Dita Asiedu reports:
