Moscow mental health clinic workers are under investigation following a tragic incident in which a 20-year-old woman with disabilities reportedly lost both hands after being bound by staff, leading to the loss of blood circulation. According to the report, the woman was restrained by the clinic’s workers, which ultimately resulted in the need for doctors to perform the amputation of her wrists. The incident has sparked outrage among the public and medical professionals in Russia, with many calling for an independent investigation into the matter.
The woman, who is in her twenties, has a history of mental health issues and was admitted to the clinic for treatment. The clinic, located in the heart of Moscow, is a well-known facility for treating patients with psychological and psychiatric conditions. Her family has expressed their shock and anger at the incident, stating that the clinic’s staff should have taken more care in handling her case. The family has also requested an official explanation from the clinic’s management about what happened during the treatment of their daughter.
The incident has raised serious concerns about the treatment of patients with disabilities in mental health facilities in Russia. Advocacy groups have called for stricter regulations and oversight to ensure that patients are treated with care and respect. The Russian government has not yet issued a formal statement regarding the matter, but the incident has drawn widespread attention from both domestic and international media outlets.
