The need for a new law on mental health in Egypt
is limited by applicable law now the law No. 141 of 1944 on the seizure of the mentally ill, as is evident from its name, the rules governing the detention of psychiatric patients in psychiatric hospitals. The law reflects the trend that prevailed when it is published in more than sixty years, when mental illness was seen as an incurable disease and continue throughout life, and therefore, what matters is to protect society from the mentally ill and keep them away behind the walls of clinics. Was seen to these clinics as places of detention rather than a hospital for treatment. The current law already used terms such as "detention" and "release" and "reservation" and "suspects" when referring to the mentally ill.
Although the law originally designed to codify procedures for detention of psychiatric patients as we have similar deficiencies in that area in many ways: it allows the patient and the conditions of detention that are not well defined detain people may not condition requires that medical terms. The compulsory detention procedures are complex and take into account the urgent circumstances where it is difficult to complete these procedures, which prompted practitioners and parents is always to circumvent them. And the mechanisms of review of detention decisions are a lot of time up to a month after the commencement of detention. And no law provides no right to complain about those decisions. The law gave power to the patient's family exaggerated allow them to keep the patient in the hospital without the need for treatment, which allowed the emergence of situations where the exploitation of patients without any protection. The current law did not include any provisions on the organization of method of treatment in hospitals.
In addition to all this, the law 141 and are not simply applied in fact, for many reasons, especially the complicated procedures and lack of suitability. Has said a doctor working at a hospital a government mental health researchers to the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights:
"Alhan patient appreciate enter it under the Article No. (4) needed to be with his family two medical certificates from doctors outside the hospital on Form No. (58). People come from far and Maaha patient irritated tell them Khaddoh and Rohawwa Bring form (58) and turned the two doctors write them? "
Commented another doctor on the continuation of these bureaucratic difficulties even after the introduction of the patient to the hospital:
"Default within the patient involuntarily Aaoz if I transfer it to the involuntary detention of work eh? Habat answer has two certificates of doctors from outside the hospital what way? "
While complained third doctor is not effective mechanisms for review of detention within the hospital:
"I had entered the patient is forced and reached the Council of observation, 48, Majie the supervisory board will be a long time too. The patient had improved and Osubhh risk and the symptoms have changed to keep I legal positions eh? "
