Corruption, mistreatment found at Vietnam's center for mental health patients


Vietnamese inspectors have found a range of violations at the Social Support Center in Nghe An Province, including embezzlement of funds and mistreatment of mental health patients. 
The inspection was launched after one of the regular donors to the center, which also serves as a rest home for elderly persons, criticized the managers for a lack of proper care and attention. 
Dam Thi Lan Anh, who has been donating since 2002, said that in her recent visits she found many patients here lived in dirty conditions and were not given enough food and clothes.
Many people died because of the mistreatment, she claimed.
